The 50/50 International Scholarship: With the difficulties that international students can have in receiving financial aid, Davis College is now offering a 50/50 international scholarship. Davis College is looking to give international students the opportunity to receive an excellent education at an affordable cost. This scholarship generously offers an education at Davis College at half the cost. Davis College will pay half the cost of tuition and room and board, and the international student will pay the other half. The remaining 50% of the international student's account must be paid in full two weeks before registration day (no exceptions). No other scholarships can be received along with the International Scholarship. International students may apply for work-study jobs on campus to earn a possible $750.00 towards paying off their account.
