All schools that accept Title IV Federal funding are required to determine a Cost of Attendance (COA) The required federal calculation used to determine a student’s “financial need” is determined by subtracting the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) number from the school’s COA number. Davenport University is then able to award students various types of aid based on their “need.”
If you feel that your EFC no longer reflects your current financial situation, review the information listed under Factors that could change your eligibility section and review the options offered under the Special Considerations heading.
To apply, see Davenport Scholarships and follow the instructions provided.
Certain financial aid funds may have a priority deadline date, while this does not necessarily mean that you will not receive the fund if you apply after this date, it does make it less likely that you would qualify because these funds are limited. It is important that you become familiar with the priority deadline dates and attempt to meet them if possible. We have listed a variety of important dates for you to remember under the Annual Renewal Process & Processing Timeline heading in the How to Apply section
- Complete your FAFSA by March 1st each year to ensure that you meet the deadline for State Scholarships
- Davenport will begin awarding Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) and Michigan Adult Part-time Grant (APTG) monies early in the year; this fund is limited so if you qualify and would like to be considered, it's important that you complete your FAFSA early each year.
- Complete a Foundation Scholarship application early each year.
