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, admitted students should complete the Scholarship Application Form included in the admission packet and located on the admitted students 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.
Students with unique circumstances should include an addendum with their application. This addendum should explain to the Admissions Committee why requested information cannot be provided.
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.
