Davidson provides an impressive number of merit-based scholarships in diverse categories designed to make this college a realistic choice for your education. Davidson makes such awards to approximately 18% of each entering class without regard to financial need. Through merit-based scholarships, Davidson seeks to honor your accomplishments and potential while providing an excellent opportunity for an unparalleled college experience.
Our merit-based scholarships range from $1,000 to more than $36,000 (comprehensive cost, to include tuition, fees, room and board) and are annually renewable. In order to be considered, a student’s application for admission must be completed by January 2. Notification regarding merit-based scholarships will be made on or before April 20.
Merit-based awards are grouped into three major categories:
General Scholarship Awards
Every admitted student is considered automatically for General Scholarships
on the basis of the strength of the candidate’s application for admission.
Awards range from $1,000 to $15,000 annually and can be renewed for the
recipient’s remaining three years, provided grade point average and progress
toward degree requirements are met. No separate scholarship application
is required for these awards.
Special Application Scholarships
These scholarships are defined with reference to particular areas of study
or talent, and require a separate application be submitted by January
2. Students may apply for any scholarships by following the directions
on the admission application.Special Application Scholarships can be renewed for
the recipients’ remaining three years at Davidson, provided grade point
average and progress toward degree requirements are met. Any additional
renewal requirements are listed in the scholarships’ descriptions.
Special Competition Scholarships
As with the General Scholarships, no separate scholarship application
is required for these awards. Nominees are selected by the Davidson admission
staff and the Dean of Admission and Financial Aid. The scholarships are
renewable, providing the recipients: 1) earn a minimum 3.0 grade point
average, 2) make standard progress toward their degrees, and 3) are involved
significantly in the life of the Davidson community.
Special Nomination Scholarships
This highly competitive category of scholarships involves those applicants who have been nominated for consideration either by their schools or by members of the admission staff (who make recommendations based on the strength of the student’s application for admission to the college).
Finalists must participate in mandatory selection interviews on campus. Please see the individual scholarship descriptions for those dates.
Special nomination scholarships are renewable, providing the recipients earn the established minimum grade point average for the scholarship, make satisfactory progress toward their degrees, and are significantly involved in the life of the Davidson community.
We encourage prospective students and their families to work closely with the Office of Admission (704-894-2230) and Financial Aid (704-894-2232) throughout the admission process. Our staff is committed to helping make a Davidson education feasible for each qualified applicant.
