Study Abroad Scholarships
We are currently accepting applications for our 2023 fall trip to Ireland.
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 the 2023 fall semester, we plan to travel to Ireland. Please note: you must be at least 18 years old as of Oct. 6, 2023 in order to go on this trip.
Who can apply for Davidson-Davie Scholarships?
Applicants will need to…
- complete a minimum of 12 credit hours by May 2023 and still be enrolled in fall 2023 for the 2023 Ireland trip.

- be a current curriculum student at the time of travel, including enrollment in the trip’s accompanying course.
- be at least 18 years or older as of Oct. 6, 2023 (specific to the Ireland trip).
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.
