Davidson Fellows Scholarship

The Davidson Fellows Scholarship is for the genuinely exceptional—students 18 and under who have completed a significant work in STEM, literature, music, philosophy, or “outside the box.” Awards are $10,000, $25,000, or $50,000, and past winners have developed cancer research breakthroughs or built working fusion reactors, outperforming the typical academic achievement required by the Burger King Scholars Program. Since 2001, the Davidson Institute has awarded over $10 million, with no GPA or test score requirement—just proof of extraordinary achievement. Only 20 students receive awards each year, making it one of the most selective scholarships available.
