Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Delaware Scholarship Recipients
The Banking Institution's Scholarship to Further Education program in Delaware aims to support students in achieving their educational goals, thereby contributing to the state's workforce development and economic growth. The primary target outcomes for this grant program are to increase the number of Delaware residents with post-secondary education and to foster a skilled workforce that can drive innovation and entrepreneurship in the state.
Delaware's unique economic landscape, characterized by a strong presence of corporate headquarters and a growing healthcare sector, requires a workforce with specialized skills. The Delaware Workforce Development Board, a state agency, plays a crucial role in identifying the state's workforce needs and developing strategies to address them. By supporting students in pursuing higher education, the Scholarship to Further Education program aligns with the board's efforts to create a pipeline of skilled workers.
One of the key demographic features that distinguishes Delaware is its relatively high percentage of residents with some college or associate's degree, but no bachelor's degree. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of 2019, approximately 22% of Delaware's population fell into this category. The Scholarship to Further Education program aims to help these individuals complete their degrees, thereby increasing the state's overall educational attainment and economic competitiveness.
The program's target outcomes are also closely tied to the state's economic development goals, particularly in the Wilmington region, which is a hub for corporate headquarters and financial services. By supporting students in pursuing degrees in fields such as business, healthcare, and technology, the program helps to ensure that Delaware's workforce remains competitive and adaptable in a rapidly changing economy.
To achieve these outcomes, the Scholarship to Further Education program will prioritize applicants who demonstrate a strong commitment to pursuing higher education and career goals in Delaware. The program will also give preference to applicants who are pursuing degrees in fields that are in high demand in the state, such as healthcare and technology.
Measuring Success in Delaware
The success of the Scholarship to Further Education program in Delaware will be measured through a combination of metrics, including the number of scholarship recipients, the retention and graduation rates of recipients, and the employment outcomes of recipients after graduation. The Banking Institution will work closely with Delaware's educational institutions and workforce development agencies to track these metrics and assess the program's overall impact.
In terms of specific metrics, the program aims to support at least 50 students in Delaware annually, with a total award amount of up to $1.25 million. The program also expects to see a significant increase in the number of Delaware residents pursuing higher education and achieving degree completion.
Supporting Delaware's Economic Growth
By supporting students in pursuing higher education and career goals, the Scholarship to Further Education program in Delaware contributes to the state's economic growth and development. As Delaware continues to evolve as a hub for corporate headquarters and innovation, the program helps to ensure that the state's workforce remains competitive and adaptable.
Delaware community foundation scholarships, such as those offered by the Delaware Community Foundation, also play a critical role in supporting students in the state. By providing additional funding opportunities, these scholarships help to ensure that Delaware students have access to the resources they need to succeed.
