Scholarship Selection
The DTI selection process evaluates applicants’ profiles to determine eligibility. Applicants applying for scholarships are classified based on financial need. Scholarships are awarded based on application strength and available funds. Non-funded applicants are placed on a waitlist. Successful recipients must demonstrate academic ability, financial need, campus involvement, and community commitment.
What A Scholarship Covers
DTI scholarships are awarded based on financial need and can cover a portion or the entire cost of attending DTI.
