Scholarships
Duke Law School awards three-year scholarships to entering law students. All scholarships are based in part on merit, defined broadly to include academic excellence as well as a range of other personal accomplishments and experiences. To apply for a scholarship, applicants that are selected for admission will complete the Scholarship Application Form included in the admission packet and located on the Welcome website. This form will allow you to choose whether you would like apply for a scholarship based on merit or on merit and financial need. Those who choose to apply on the basis of merit and need are also required to complete the Need Access application.
Note: In determining need, the law school considers all sources of income, including parents' income and financial situation.
Some scholarship candidates are selected each year to receive special recognition as named scholars. No separate application is necessary.
