About the scholarship
Investing in future leaders.
The Davis Scholars Program is funded by the Shelby M.C. Davis Charitable Foundation, which supports Sonoma Academy’s mission by educating motivated, high-achieving student leaders who aspire to earn a four-year college degree.
The foundation believes promising future leaders come from a broad range of backgrounds and cultures, and deserve greater educational opportunity starting in high school. Our first cohort of Davis Scholars entered SA as freshmen in 2014.
Additional donors have since funded more scholarships, and SA also offers several individually named scholarships for motivated students.
