Admission decisions at Davidson are made without regard to financial circumstances. In 2006-2007 Davidson students will receive almost $17 million in financial assistance from college sources. These funds are combined with grants, loans and employment funds from federal, state and other outside sources to form aid "packages" for Davidson students.

In 2005-06, Davidson students will receive almost $16 million in financial assistance from college sources.

While most financial aid is designated for students with demonstrated financial need, Davidson sets aside over $5 million in merit-based scholarships. Students receiving need-based packages also are eligible for merit-based aid.

Davidson offers financing options to families at all income levels. One-third of our students qualify for need-based financial aid, while another third receive non-need-based assistance that may include Davidson scholarships, ROTC and National Merit scholarships, state grants, and outside awards. Most families, regardless of income, are eligible for monthly payment plans, unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans, Federal PLUS Loans for parents, and other programs that allow a family to reduce or reschedule payments for a Davidson education.
