Funding and Financial Support Details
The Kathryn Godshalk Memorial Scholarship is funded through an endowment established in memory of Kathryn Godshalk. The endowment generates income that is allocated annually to support scholarship recipients. The exact amount available each year depends on the investment returns of the endowment fund and the university’s distribution policies. As a need-based scholarship, the award amount is determined after a thorough review of the applicant’s financial aid application, including family income, assets, and other financial obligations. The scholarship funds are disbursed directly to the University of Delaware and applied toward the recipient’s tuition and fees. In some cases, funds may also be used to reimburse or cover costs related to books and other necessary educational materials. Recipients must maintain satisfactory academic progress and remain enrolled full-time to continue receiving the scholarship in subsequent years, subject to available funding.
