Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)

How do you define incoming students and continuing students?

A incoming student is anyone who has not been a Del Mar College student in the past. This could be a recent graduate of a high school or someone who has been out of high school for a while, but has never enrolled at DMC. A new, incoming student could also be someone transferring from another college or university to Del Mar College.
A returning student are those students who are currently enrolled in DMC and plan to continue their education at Del Mar College.

Is there a minimum GPA requirement?
All scholarships have criteria that were set up by the benefactor detailing what is required by a student in order to be awarded the scholarship. Each scholarship has different criteria, but when applying, the student is applying for all scholarships with the one application. The student is eligible for all scholarships that their particular GPA, major, etc. fits.

Should I apply for specific awards?
No, just as was explained in Question #2, by completing one scholarship application, a student is applying for most Foundation scholarships, only a few scholarhips require special applications. and these are posted in scholarship listings.
Do you adhere firmly to the application deadline?
Yes, due to funding and time limitations and the work that must be done with each application, the application deadline is firm.
I received a scholarship, but I have not received a check yet. What should I do? Scholarship awards are generally applied to charges for tuition and fees directly through the financial aid office. Any remaining balances left owed are the responsibility of the student. Any credit balances will be paid out through the cashier's office to the student's DMC debit card. Students will need to check with the financial aid office to see if any payments are still due following their scholarship award.
