Davidson Fellows Scholarship

The Davidson Fellows Scholarship is a prestigious scholarship program for gifted and high-achieving students who are 18 years old or under and have completed a significant piece of work. The program awards scholarships of $100,000, $50,000, and $25,000 to recognize exceptional young talent across multiple disciplines. Recognized by Forbes as one of the nation's most prestigious undergraduate scholarships, the Davidson Fellows program has been named one of 'The 10 Biggest Scholarships in the World' by TheBestColleges.org and one of '7 Prestigious Undergrad Scholarships' by U.S. News & World Report. Applicants must submit a significant piece of work in one of the available categories: Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Literature, Music, Philosophy, or Outside the Box. The program accepts applications from individual students as well as two-person teams. Each submission category has specific requirements that applicants must fulfill, and nominees must demonstrate that the work is their own original creation. If named a Davidson Fellow, recipients and at least one parent or guardian must attend an awards ceremony, which may be held in Washington, D.C. The program aims to support students who have resourcefully found ways to nurture their abilities through mentorship, family support, and diligent work toward their goals.
