Financing Early Decision

We encourage you, therefore, to explore options for financial aid early in the fall.

A full range of merit-based and need-based financial options are available. Because Davidson is committed to meeting 100% of a family's demonstrated financial need, we are able to work closely with students who are considering applying Early Decision to provide a realistic estimate of what your family may expect to contribute to your Davidson education.
