The A.B. Duke Scholarship Program: An opportunity for African Students too!
Every applicant to Duke University is considered for our various merit scholarships. There is no separate application for the A.B. Duke Scholarship. But the applicant who demonstrates exceptional promise, intellectual hunger, and an inquisitive spark may be considered a candidate for the A.B. Duke Scholarship.
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions identifies A.B. Duke Scholar candidates from the overall pool of applicants and forwards their applications to the A.B. Duke Advisory Committee. The A.B. Duke Advisory Committee selects up to forty-five finalists from across the country and around the world.
In early April, all finalists are invited to visit the campus at our expense to meet current scholars and faculty and to interview with the Advisory Committee. The weekend is a three-day event. Interviews for finalists, which are mandatory, are scheduled at specific times during finalists’ visits. Scholarship recipients and alternates are notified shortly thereafter.
It’s not easy to choose the finalists. There are so many exceptional applicants to Duke. But we can tell you this: we are looking for people rather than perfectionists and potential rather than performance. We honor high school records and recommendations; we honor even more a high school record that reveals little self-satisfaction, that is hungry instead of overfull, that is imaginative instead of ingrained to please.
Think « work in progress. » Think poised to be transformed and engaged by one of the nation’s great universities. Think: I just might be an A.B. Duke Scholar.
Each A.B. Duke Scholar receives a financial award covering full tuition, room and board, and all mandatory fees for four years (eight semesters).
Duke University has a firm commitment to making education affordable. For A. B. Dukes with additional financial need, Duke University will pay 100 percent of institutionally determined, demonstrated need for U.S. citizens and non-citizens alike. In combination with the A.B. Duke scholarship, this grant provides all A.B. Duke Scholars the opportunity to graduate from Duke without any student loans.
Some A. B. Dukes choose to spend one or two semesters during their college career studying abroad. For approved programs, the A.B. Duke Scholarship will pay educational expenses up to the cost of Duke’s tuition.
The Scholarship also covers all expenses associated with the Oxford Summer Program, including tuition, room, board, program excursions, and an air fare allowance.
