Increasing scholarships 

Davenport’s goal is to ensure students graduate with the lowest amount of student debt possible.

Why are scholarships important?

In removing financial barriers, student success becomes more prevalent as they can focus on their education, particularly for students who have the highest financial need.

Scholarship Opportunities for Strategic Initiatives within Vision 2025

1. First-Generation Scholarships
   Scholarships help retain first-generation college students year over year and increase their graduation rates.
2. College of Urban Education Scholarships
   Undergraduate Degree Program Scholarships – Scholarships are needed to grow the number of students going to college to become teachers in urban districts.
