Legacy Program
You are a legacy if one or both of your parents graduated from the University of Delaware. The UD Legacy Program is designed to facilitate opportunities for legacies to learn about the latest news and opportunities at UD during the college search process.
The University of Delaware Alumni Association participates in programs sponsored by the Admissions Office. The Admissions Office website has a complete schedule of open houses and programs that legacies are encouraged to attend. The Alumni Association hosts a receptions at both Delaware Decision Days events in April and provides an opportunity for potential legacy students and their families to visit with board members and receive a special gift.
Being a legacy is one of many factors that determine admission eligibility. Academic credentials will always be the most important factor in the application process. Merit scholarships are determined by the application for admission. Additional scholarships such as the Alumni Enrichment Awards are available to current eligible students with preference given to legacies.
