Young Scholars Admissions

Our program is free to profoundly gifted students and their families and gives them the opportunity to connect and engage in a community that understands their needs.

How to Apply

The Davidson Young Scholars program application is available online through our digital application system. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis during the January-November application cycle.

The Young Scholars application is currently open and available.
