Scheduled for Saturday, December 8, 2018, at the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino, the President’s Scholarship Ball is our signature annual event in support of students attending Delaware State University. By sponsoring, you will be joining a distinguished group of corporations, civic groups and individuals by participating at one of the elite sponsorship levels.

Generous support has made a difference for Delaware State University students, more than 75% of whom rely on financial assistance to continue their education.
