What is the Davidson Trust?
In 2007, Davidson announced a groundbreaking policy that eliminated loans from all financial aid packaging, allowing students to graduate debt-free.
This landmark policy is known as The Davidson Trust.
As a student at Davidson, your demonstrated financial need is met entirely with grants and student employment. You will not be expected to take out a loan as part of your financial aid award package.
Of course, you and your family may still elect to take out education loans as a matter of personal financing.
Are merit scholarships offered?
Yes. Davidson awards merit-based scholarships to nearly 10% of each entering class.
Merit-Based Scholarship Programs
The John M. Belk Scholarship
Are there opportunities for student employment?
Yes, there are. Davidson may offer an on-campus job to a student as part of need-based financial aid packaging.
Student employment positions are offered through numerous on-campus offices, academic departments, and co-curricular programs -- from Information Technology Services to the College Union to the Biology Department.
How is financial need calculated?
Many other questions might accompany this one:
- Will I get financial assistance every year?
- If I apply for financial aid will it hurt my chances of being admitted?
- If I receive a scholarship from my high school or community how will it affect my Davidson financial aid award?
These questions and others are addressed in a separate Financial Aid FAQ.

Let's face it -- the topic financial aid is dense and complicated; it's hardly covered by posing and answering five questions.
