Davidson College will offer Access Davidson programming virtually this year. This program is designed for high school seniors who will be the first in their family to attend college and students from rural or low-income backgrounds.
Access Davidson is only open to students living and attending high school in the United States and Puerto Rico.
We will host an in-person Access Davidson program in April in conjunction with admitted student programming. There is no separate application to be considered for our spring fly-in program. Admission officers nominate competitive applicants for the spring Access Davidson program as part of the application reading and evaluation process.
To apply for the program, students must complete the following steps:
- Submit a complete Access Davidson application
- Upload a transcript that includes your final grades from 9th, 10th, and 11th grade years
- Upload a copy of your senior year schedule
We will notify students if additional information is needed.
"At the Access Davidson program, I saw the vibrancy and inclusivity of Davidson College's community. I felt what it means to be part of a community greater than oneself - a feeling that stayed with me long after."

The outcome of your Access Davidson application does not impact your admission decision to Davidson College. In fact, we encourage you to still apply for admission! Every year, there are qualified applicants who we are unable to invite to participate in Access Davidson simply because of space limitations.
Those students who have not been on an official campus visit and who are not selected for the fall Access Davidson program are eligible for later visit opportunities in conjunction with admitted student programming. Admission officers nominate competitive applicants for the spring Access Davidson program as part of the application reading and evaluation process.
Please contact admission@davidson.edu with any additional questions.
