Study Abroad Scholarship Application

Study Abroad Scholarships

We are currently accepting applications for our 2024 fall program in Ireland. The application will open for 2025 spring programs sometime during the summer.

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 fall, we have planned a program for Ireland.

Who can apply for Davidson-Davie Scholarships?

Applicants will need to…

complete a minimum of 12 credit hours by the end of May 2024 and still be enrolled in fall 2024 for the 2024 fall program.
commit to the Davidson-Davie study abroad program in Ireland for 2024 fall by completion of the interest form.
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.

Deadline to Apply

The deadline for the 2024 summer programs is Sunday, April 24, by midnight.
