Due to increased interest in DECAL Scholars programs, applications for Scholarships are paused until further notice. Any complete applications received before February 17, 2025, will still be processed. Please check back for future updates.

Do I need to wait until I receive my notice of award or denial from financial aid before I apply to Academic Scholarships?

We understand that it may take some time to receive notice of award or denial from financial aid. Please complete your Academic Scholarships application and attach your FAFSA Submission Summary with your application. Once your official financial aid offer is reflected in your student account for the term (whether you have received approval or denial for financial aid), please upload that information to your DECAL Scholars account, or email it to support@decalscholars.com.
