An affordable education

Davenport makes education affordable. That’s why our tuition is one of the lowest of all private colleges and universities in Michigan.

All transfer students have a guaranteed transfer scholarship waiting for them once they apply because we want to help you advance and don’t want finances to stand in the way. These scholarships range from $4,500 to $6,500.

And if you’re a member of Phi Theta Kappa, you qualify for an additional scholarship of $1,500.

President's Transfer Scholarship

You could go to Davenport University for free if you win the President's Transfer Scholarship! The scholarship is specifically for GRCC students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher and a completed associate's degree.* The application will be opening April 2024 and will go through June 1.

Hear from students like you

From the moment I submitted my application, I knew Davenport was going to be beneficial. It was a very important decision I had to make for my future. Davenport even helps you receive a job after graduation if you don’t find one. I am currently pursuing a BBA, and the professors are wonderful and beyond helpful, as well as the staff on campus. I take classes online and took classes at Davenport’s Holland Campus. The option of taking 7-week classes is great if you’re trying to knock classes out quickly. My first semester here has been great!”
