""We are very grateful for all you and everyone at Davidson have done. The Ambassador Program is truly an amazing learning opportunity for our son. He has learned so much from the experience that he can’t find on the books, and he continues to learn every day. The training was systematic and well planned. Most important of all is your personalized guidance with team support, even after the training. That has really made the difference and helped him gain much confidence. He is very fortunate to be able to enjoy working on something he is most passionate about." - Mother of a YS Ambassador
"The Young Scholars Ambassador Program was a perfect fit for our daughter; the right program at the right age and time! So many adventures and lessons learned." - Mother of a YS Ambassador
