Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
As most private schools are, Davidson is quite expensive. Davidson, however, has a financial aid program called the Davidson Trust. Student financial need is met completely through grants. They are also quite generous with the grants. Whatever you do, don't let finances stop you from applying to Davidson.
Andrew from Charlotte, NC
The education I am receiving is worth the money my parents and I are spending. The Davidson Trust also makes it well worth it. It is a program that gives money to students in form of a grant. Any student will be grateful to walk out of their undergraduate education with little or no debt to pay back...it's a blessing.
