If your Young Scholar is receives acceptance to Davidson Summer Programs, a deposit of $500 is due two weeks after the acceptance notification for each student to reserve their place in the program.

Waitlist
Once all available spaces have been reserved via deposit payment, pending applicants will be notified by email that they have been accepted to join their sessions waitlist. Should a vacant space in their session become available, families will be notified immediately.
Please note, eligible applicants will be placed on their preferred sessions waitlist ONLY. Applicants are NOT permitted to be on multiple session waitlists simultaneously.
