Spotlight on one of America’s most generous ‘merit-based’ scholarships, available also to international high school students to study at Duke or the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
In today’s edition, I will introduce you to one of the most prestigious and generous merit-based scholarships at one of America’s finest universities - Duke. This is a rare fully-funded opportunity open to both domestic and international students.
This scholarship goes beyond covering full tuition and room and board; it opens doors to unique leadership experiences, cross-campus engagement, and transformative summer programs. For ambitious students considering Duke or the UNC Chapel Hill, this is a chance to make their education both impactful and affordable. The deadline to submit the application for the scholarship is 15 Nov 2024.
Duke University, though not an Ivy League school, is often grouped with America’s elite as an “Ivy Plus” institution alongside Stanford and MIT. Founded in 1924 by James Buchanan Duke as a memorial to his father, Washington Duke, Duke University has risen to become a powerhouse of academic and leadership excellence. In the U.S. News & World Report rankings for 2024, Duke is ranked #6 nationally, alongside CalTech, Northwestern, and Johns Hopkins.
Duke’s academic reputation powers through its most popular undergraduate majors: Computer Science, Economics, Biology, Public Policy, and Psychology. Its global appeal is clear, too—among its 6,417 undergraduates, students from China, India, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and Canada are the most represented international student communities.
