Policy Regarding Outside scholarships
Outside scholarships will reduce or replace a student's work-study amount. Outside scholarships in excess of $2,100 will first eliminate the work-study expectation and the amount in excess of $2,100 will then reduce the amount of Davidson College grant on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
Policy on Health Insurance
Davidson requires all students to have personal health insurance. Students not covered by a family insurance plan can have the amount of Davidson grant increased to pay for student health insurance offered through Davidson.
