Delta State University offers full tuition for eligible students

CLEVELAND, Miss. (WJTV) – Delta State University (DSU) announced a new initiative aimed at expanding college access and reducing financial barriers for Mississippi families.

Beginning in Fall 2025, the Delta State Free Tuition Scholarship will cover 100% of tuition for Pell Grant-eligible, first-time freshmen.

“We believe that a student’s financial situation should never be a barrier to earning a college degree,” said DSU President Dr. Daniel J. Ennis. “This scholarship reinforces our mission to empower students and invest in the future of our communities.”

Officials said the Free Tuition Scholarship ensures that all tuition costs are fully covered by combining a student’s federal Pell Grant with any other earned scholarships. If there is any remaining balance, Delta State covers it-eliminating out-of-pocket tuition costs for qualifying students. The scholarship is renewable for up to four years (eight semesters), as long as the student remains Pell Grant-eligible and maintains academic progress toward a degree.

Students and families interested in learning more about the Free Tuition Scholarship and how to apply can visit www.deltastate.edu/admissions/free-tuition/ or contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@deltastate.edu.
