Welcome to
Elkins,
West Virginia
Davis & Elkins College has a close relationship with the city of Elkins.
Home to about 7,000 people, Elkins is a small arts community with cozy coffee shops, bookstores and independent storefronts, surrounded by the grandeur of the Allegheny Highlands.
The City of Elkins is an integral part of student life for Davis & Elkins students. It’s a safe, friendly place that feels like an extension of a campus you’ll find just as warm and welcoming.
Life at D&E
“Can I afford D&E?”
%
Receive Aid
Most of our students need some financial help… and they get it.
98% of D&E students receive financial aid, and a large portion of those tuition dollars come from our nine robust scholarship programs.
As a Division II school, nearly half our students take advantage of our athletic scholarship. Other programs support international students, creative arts studies, members of the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA), and many more.

The Highlands Scholarship was definitely part of my decision to attend D&E. I was on the borderline of not being able to afford tuition, but Highlands, along with other scholarships, made it affordable for me.

I definitely think there are more opportunities for students at a smaller college and you get more one-on-one interaction with professors.

We’ve been leading the way for over a century.
Both D&E College and the City of Elkins were developed at the turn of the 20th century by two U.S. Senators, Henry Gassaway Davis and his son-in-law, Stephen Benton Elkins. They’re the reason we call ourselves Senators, and why we call this beautiful place home.
Their entrepreneurial spirit set this college town in motion. Today, Elkins is a small but bustling arts community that draws thousands each fall for the annual Mountain State Forest Festival while Davis & Elkins College draws students from all over the world.
