Where this came from
Re-read from dellscholars.org on 14 September 2026: the page still shows the closed 2026 cycle, 15 December 2025 to 15 February 2026, and has not yet posted the next one. The record stays accurate and stays hidden, because the deadline has passed. It returns on its own once a new date is published here.
Last checked September 14, 2026. Amounts and deadlines change every cycle, so confirm both with the provider before you rely on them.
Before you apply anywhere
- A legitimate scholarship never charges an application fee. If one does, it is not a scholarship.
- Nobody can guarantee you will win one. A guarantee is the clearest single sign of a scam.
- You should not need a bank account number or a Social Security number to apply. Those come later, from the college, if you win.
- Apply on the provider’s own site rather than through a middleman offering to do it for you.
