Scholarships
Duke University believes that the availability of a high quality education should depend on students' academic profiles, rather than their financial circumstances. In support of this important principle, the University admits U.S. citizens and permanent residents without reference to their ability to pay and meets 100% of each admitted student's demonstrated need. The scholarships funded for students interested in Theater Studies and described below are need-based and awarded as part of a student's over-all financial aid package. More information about Financial Aid at Duke is available at http://dukefinancialaid.duke.edu/.
