UD Spotlight

Isabella's Story

Growing up in a small town in Puerto Rico, Isabella ’24 never imagined she’d have the opportunity to pursue a college education away from home. Thanks to her determination and resilience, Isabella not only thrived at her home away from home and graduated with a degree in entrepreneurship and finance, but she also left a lasting impact on campus.

As a Catholic, Marianist university, we’re committed to helping each family support their student’s goals with peace of mind. We provide a personalized financial aid offer that shows a clear view of the student’s guaranteed net tuition cost for all four years, plus options available to help pay for out-of-pocket costs. This allows families to plan their educational investment with confidence.

We’ll begin sending personalized financial aid offers to admitted students this month, prioritizing students who have filed the FAFSA. When a student’s financial aid offer is ready, they’ll receive an email to let them know they can log in to view the offer in their Admission Account, and the printed packet will follow in the mail.

We’re hosting a number of regional, on-campus and virtual events this spring to answer questions and help students begin to find their community at UD.

Our Admitted Student Days on March 2 and 30 are the perfect opportunity for students to experience why our medium-sized campus is “just right” to create a home away from home. Students and their families can meet faculty, explore classrooms and labs, check out a first-year residence hall, and connect with other future Flyer families.

High school seniors still have time to earn a textbook scholarship — worth $500 per semester at UD — when they apply, visit campus and file the FAFSA by Feb. 1. Students who haven’t had a chance to visit campus can register for an upcoming admitted student event to fulfill the visitation requirement.

The deadline to be considered for the in the UD Sinclair Academy is Feb. 1. The Kessler Scholars Program provides holistic support to first-generation college students throughout their four-year journeys at Sinclair College and UD. We hope your will apply to the UD Sinclair Academy by Feb. 1 so they can be considered for this unique educational opportunity.
