S T U D E N T S U C C E S S 

Delaware 

County 

Community 

College... 

is the center of educational opportunity in 

Delaware and Chester Counties. Students find 

success through associate degree and certificate 

programs, a clear-cut course to a bachelor's degree, 

career advancement opportunities or personal fulfillment. 

With locations throughout Delaware and Chester Counties, 

the College serves more than 28,000 students annually. 

Delaware County Community College Educational 

Foundation's primary mission is to support students. 

The Foundation's commitment to student success is 

evident from the many scholarships and awards described 

in these pages. Eligibility criteria are established by the 

donors themselves. While academic merit and financial 

need are the most common criteria, other factors frequently 

considered are academic major, geographical location or 

special circumstances, such as “mature women” or 

“part-time students.” All students are encouraged to 

review eligibility requirements and to apply as directed. 

The Foundation also provides awards for faculty, alumni, 

students and staff members based on teaching performance, 

professional accomplishments, academic achievements 

and other measures.

The Foundation’s annual dinner brings students and scholarships 

donors together each fall to celebrate the generosity of the donors 

and the accomplishments of the students. Kristen Hagopian, 

Radio Talk Show Host, Columnist and Wealth Building Speaker 

and author of Brilliant Frugal Living, delivered the keynote 

address. Touting the financial benefits of a community college 

education, Hagopian assured the students in the audience that 

they had made a good decision in selecting Delaware County 

Community College for their education. She applauded donors 

for their wise investments in the students and the College. 

Three students spoke on behalf of the scholarship 

winners. Elisa Ford, recipient of the Wong Moss

interest in the students. She said, “At Delaware
