Davis College FAQ's

Q: Does the timing of my application make any difference?

A: Yes it does! Davis College works on a rolling admissions basis. Our Admissions committee will meet and discuss your application as soon as we receive your transcripts and Pastor's Recommendation form. There is no deadline to apply, however, the earlier one applies, the better the opportunity for scholarships and acceptance. The best time to apply is between August and February of your senior year.

Q: What are the requirements for enrollment?
A: We need your Application, High School transcripts, and your completed Pastor's recommendation form.

Q: Do you consider my commitment to Christianity and my walk with God?

A: We certainly do! We weigh heavily the recommendations given to us by a student's Pastor. Students who do not know the Lord or who show no desire to grow in their walk with Him will not be granted Admission. We desire to enroll Christian students who love God and desire to thrive academically.

Q: Does Davis accept homeschool students?

A: Yes we do! Approximately 10% of our students were home-schooled in their High school career. We need an application, Pastor's recommendation, and High School transcripts (a letter from your Superintendent of Schools, stating that you have met all requirements of your state's laws for secondary education, or a GED, will substitute as High School transcripts.)

Q: Where is Davis College located, and in what setting?
