Queen city Scholars is an expansion of the Delaware College Scholars program. The mission remains the same, to prepare and support under-resourced students academically and socially to succeed in their post-secondary journies. Dcs provides an intentional residential lived experience that replicates the academic rigors and social complexity of being away from home for College. Our vision is that through this experience, our Scholars develop the hard and soft skills to not only find their right academic, social, and financial post-secondary fit, but to thrive on their next journey. Currently we transport the charlotte students to Delaware to join our programming at Delaware state university.
