The Opportunity to Graduate Without Debt

The Davidson Trust, the college’s top priority, supports Davidson’s longstanding commitment to need-blind admission and its historic decision to meet 100 percent of demonstrated need of accepted students through a combination of grants and campus employment, with no loans.

The Davidson Trust makes it possible for talented students from all backgrounds to imagine coming to Davidson, and for graduates to make life and career choices based on their interests and passions.

Keeping Davidson Accessible

Rooted in our founders’ determination to keep the cost of education “within the reach of many in our land, who could not otherwise obtain it” (1841 Trustee minutes), The Davidson Trust sustains a diverse academic community united by intelligence, curiosity, courage, ambition and character. By ensuring access for all students, Davidson keeps faith with its past and secures its future.
