From securing tuition money to paying for books and lodging, costs can quickly add up when planning for college. To make higher education more affordable, Delhi Telephone Company, or DTC, a communications provider in Delhi, NY, is currently accepting applications for its 2018 DTC Scholarship. To make your application stand out from the crowd, below is some insight into program details. 

What You Should Know About the 2018 DTC Scholarship

The Scholarship is Designed to Help Local Students Fulfill Their Dreams

The staff at Delhi Telephone Company takes pride in cultivating positive relationships with the customers they serve and offering affordable rates on services. To help lessen the financial strain associated with college enrollment, DTC is awarding one local student with a $1,000 scholarship. The money can be used to help pay for tuition costs, so the young person chosen can fulfill their academic dreams. An applicant must be a 2018 graduating senior of Delaware Academy whose family currently has DTC service. The student must provide a college acceptance letter for the fall 2018 term.  

Humor Is Essential When Applying

Applying for the DTC Scholarship gives applicants a chance to let their personalities shine through. The review panel is looking for humorous entries, so try to tap into your comedic side. To apply, you must submit a two- to five-minute video to DTC retelling a funny or embarrassing moment in your life. The goal is to make the judges laugh, so feel free to embellish or fabricate the event. Beyond humor, the story must include a mention of three out of five words: technology, community, service, internet, or fiber. 

There Are Three Convenient Methods to Submit the Video

To ensure the video gets to DTC, there are three convenient submission methods. Tech-savvy students can upload their videos to a drop box, email a copy of the file to ann@delhitel.com, or drop off a flash drive of the video at the Delhi Telephone Company business location at 107 Main Street. If you have any problems submitting materials, the staff members are willing to assist. For consideration, videos must be received by June 1, 2018. Once the videos are submitted, they become the possession of DTC.
