About this scholarship

Davidson Fellows recognizes students 18 or younger who have completed a significant piece of work in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, literature, music, philosophy, or another eligible category. Awards are $25,000, $50,000, or $100,000. The 2027 application is open now, with early, winter, and spring deadlines. This is a project-based award: the work sample and its impact matter more than a generic activities list. Check the current eligibility and location rules before submitting.
