Policy on Outside Funding
Outside funding will reduce or replace a student's work-study amount. Outside funding of $2,500 will first eliminate the work-study expectation and the amount in excess of $2,500 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.
Policy on Student Contribution
The work-study award represents approximately 7-8 hours of work per week. The amount of work-study award ($2,500) will remain the same for second, third, and fourth-year students. Students remaining in their jobs from year to year see an increase in their hourly pay rate
Requirements Associated with Maintaining this Award
Students receiving this aid award must be enrolled on a full-time basis and must maintain satisfactory academic progress.
