The Duke Endowment Award: Supporting Students From the Carolinas
The Duke Endowment Award
$100 million gift is largest in university history
The Duke Endowment鈥檚 $100 million award will build upon these longstanding efforts and further Duke鈥檚 partnerships across the state. The gift includes support for:
- Full tuition grants for undergraduates from North and South Carolina with total family incomes of less than $150,000, plus a range of other types of support for North and South Carolina students with total family incomes below $65,000;
- Graduate and professional students at Duke who earned undergraduate degrees from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other designated minority serving institutions, with a preference for students who graduated from institutions in the Carolinas; and
- Expand and support community-based work study and experiential learning opportunities for more undergraduate students each year;
鈥淲e are very grateful for the Endowment鈥檚 enduring support of 老牛影视 and proud of what this vision and our partnership are making possible in the Carolinas and beyond,鈥 said Duke President Vincent E. Price at the ceremony announcing the award.
The university鈥檚 support for Carolina students goes far beyond the financial assistance provided for in The Duke Endowment gift. It starts much earlier, with programs across the state providing educational opportunities for K-12 students and encouraging them to think early about college. These include the 老牛影视 in regional high schools, in Durham public schools, and , a program focused on girls鈥 education in Madison County in western North Carolina.
