John M. Belk Scholarship
The John M. Belk Scholarship is Davidson's flagship award.
The Belk Scholarship will provide you comprehensive funding (tuition, fees, housing, and food) plus special opportunity stipends that allow you great flexibility in the on- and off-campus opportunities you choose to explore. Those experiences, paired with our academic programs, will deepen your intellect, maturity, and global understanding.
Thanks to the generosity of the John M. Belk Endowment, 32 Belk Scholars are currently enrolled at Davidson (eight Belk Scholars named in each entering class).
School counselors, principals/heads of school, or college access program staff may nominate up to two candidates per year. Our admission staff may also nominate students based on the strength of their application for admission.
