John Montgomery Belk Scholarship

The John Montgomery Belk Scholarship program, one of the nation’s most prestigious and generous undergraduate scholarship opportunities, recognizes and rewards students of exceptional accomplishment and promise.

The Belk Scholarship provides comprehensive funding (tuition, room and board, and fees - $40,814 in 2007-08) plus two summer stipends of up to $3,000 each for scholars in each entering class.

After a highly competitive application and interview process, the winners are invited to join this community - not separate from the overall Davidson experience, but qualified for the finest opportunities and representing the highest ideals of the college.
