Study Abroad Scholarships
We are currently accepting applications for our two 2024 spring break programs: Greece and the Dominican Republic.
Partial scholarships (typically ranging from as little as $250 up to $1000, sometimes more!) are available to assist students in traveling abroad through a Davidson-Davie program and are awarded as the final payment. If awarded a scholarship, the student must pay all required out-of-pocket expenses upfront by the payment deadlines in order for the scholarship to kick in.
There are specific scholarships for eligible students in a nursing program, as well as eligible students in the TRiO Program!
Where are the different programs?
For 2024 spring, we have planned a program for Greece and a program for the Dominican Republic.
Who can apply for Davidson-Davie Scholarships?
Applicants will need to…
- complete a minimum of 12 credit hours by the end of December 2023 and still be enrolled in spring 2024 for the 2024 spring break programs.
- commit to a Davidson-Davie study abroad program for 2024 spring by completion of the interest form for Greece or the Dominican Republic.
- be a current curriculum student at the time of travel, including enrollment in the trip’s accompanying course.
Preference is given to applicants showing solid academic achievement, as evidenced by a GPA of at least 2.5, and to participants in the Scholars of Global Distinction program, but consideration will be given to the entire contents of the application, especially the essay. Applicants may also be asked to interview with International Education Committee members.
