A Lakeville student, David Andrew DeGrood, has received the Davidson Honor Scholarship as an incoming student at Davidson College. David will enroll with the Class of 2017 in August.
David is the son of Mark and Rebecca DeGrood of Jalisco Terrace West, and is a graduate of Lakeville Senior High School.
The Davidson Honor Scholarship, offered to less than one percent of each entering class, recognizes exceptional personal and academic achievement in students to whom it is awarded.
Davidson is a highly selective independent liberal arts college for 1,800 students located 20 minutes north of Charlotte in Davidson, N.C. Since its establishment in 1837 by Presbyterians, the college has graduated 23 Rhodes Scholars and is consistently regarded as one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. Through The Davidson Trust, the college became the first liberal arts institution in the nation to replace loans with grants in all financial aid packages, giving all students the opportunity to graduate debt-free. Davidson competes in NCAA athletics at the Division I level, and a longstanding Honor Code is central to student life at the college.
