I have questions about my need-based financial aid package. Whom should I contact?

Check out this FAQ or email [email protected] .

How do I know if I’m eligible for a merit scholarship?

Duke is proud to offer merit scholarships to incoming first-year students. These scholarships cover the cost of tuition, mandatory fees, room, and board for four years of full-time undergraduate studies. There is not a separate application for these scholarships, except for the Robertson Scholars Program .

All students who apply to Duke are automatically considered for  merit scholarships . Matriculated students who are finalists for merit scholarships will be notified in early May. Please note that some merit scholarships require that the applicant show financial need, and that means that in order to be considered for them, you’ll need to complete your financial aid application before the application deadline.

HOW DO I SEND FINAL TEST SCORES?

Send us your official test scores no later than May 15, 2024. Duke’s test codes are 5156 (SAT) and 3088 (ACT). If you received an application fee waiver, we will accept scores from your counselor in place of official scores.

Test-optional students may skip this step.

HOW DO I SEND MY FINAL SCHOOL REPORT?

We will accept Final School Reports through the Common or Coalition Application or submitted by counselors/school officials via email .

WHAT CREDIT CAN I GET FOR AP AND IB COURSES?

Duke University awards a limited amount of course credit and advanced placement on the basis of scores earned on Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and pre-matriculation college course work. However, course credit and advanced placement are not granted until the student has been admitted and until the official reports are received and evaluated by our Registrar’s Office. Since this process is handled outside the Admissions Office, a credit evaluation cannot be made until the student arrives on campus. For more information, visit admissions.duke.edu/college-prep .

Can you provide any information about student visas?

We will process I-20s as usual in the hope that international students will be able to secure visas and enter the United States.

My (AP/IB/A level and other national exams) have been cancelled. How will Duke assess my academic performance?

For admissions purposes, we will accept final school reports in lieu of these exams. Pass/fail grades are fine. We do not yet know about any changes for placement or credit.

If my family’s financial situation has changed and I will now need financial aid in order to attend Duke. Is there a process for this?

We are not able to offer need-based aid to foreign citizens unless they indicated they were seeking aid in their admissions applications. For those students eligible for need-based aid, we continue to be committed to meeting full demonstrated need for all four years of their undergraduate education, even if the amount of that need changes while students are at Duke. If you have questions about your financial aid award, please contact Duke’s Office of Undergraduate Financial Support via email at [email protected] .

DOES DUKE HAVE A "GAP YEAR" OR DEFERRED ENROLLMENT POLICY?

As you prepare for college, you may want to explore other interests such as personal and professional development, religious or mission work, travel, or required military service. If your gap year, or “deferred enrollment,” is approved and you adhere to the gap year conditions, we hold your place in the following year’s class. Students who defer their enrollment are expected to enroll at Duke at the end of their gap year.

Duke offers two options for students who plan to defer their enrollment: the Duke Gap Year Program , a selective program that offers community and the possibility of funding to support eligible gap year experiences, and independent gap years.

Note: In general, Duke students do a one-year gap, but depending on the request, we can approve up to two years.

To request a gap year/deferred enrollment:

• Enroll at Duke University through your student portal (no deposit required).
• Apply to the Duke Gap Year Program or request an independent gap year on your student portal. The forms will open in the spring.

If you choose to defer enrollment via the Duke Gap Year Program or independently, you must accept the following conditions:

• You will not apply for admission as a degree-seeking student to any other college or university during your gap year.
• Trinity College treats PMC credits equivalent to Advanced Placement (AP) and International Placement (IP) credits. Typically, up to two total AP/IP/PMC credits count toward the 34 courses Trinity students must take to graduate from Duke.
• You can learn more about PMC credits for Pratt students on the Pratt website .
• You will not hold a place, conditional or otherwise, at any other college or university during the remainder of this academic year or during the coming academic year.
• You will not enroll in a post-graduate program at a secondary school.
• You will abide by both the Conditions of Application and the conditions mentioned in your letter of admission. We expect you to maintain high standards of academic performance and personal behavior in and out of school, which includes abiding by our  Community Standard . If there is any change in the information in your application—including any academic, personal, disciplinary, or legal matters—you must contact the admissions office within 48 hours.

You can learn more about gap year options on our website .

WHAT IS THE DUKE GAP YEAR PROGRAM?

Students who wish to participate in Duke’s intentional gap year community are invited to apply to the Duke Gap Year Program. Applicants to the DGYP may request between $5,000 and $15,000 in funding to support eligible gap year experiences. DGYP participants must adhere to the gap year conditions and fulfill a few other requirements, including but not limited to contributions to the DGYP blog and Instagram account. Applications open in the spring.

Remember: if you do not apply or are not admitted to the DGYP, you can still request an independent gap year on your student portal.

From eclipse festivals, to celebrations of jazz legends, to carillon concerts, here’s what you can enjoy this month

At Duke, April is one of the most colorful months of the year. It’s not just because of the blooming flowers, but also due to the wide variety of events taking place across campus.

Whether it’s enjoying the music of a jazz great, getting hands dirty planting vegetables or spending an afternoon listening to the Duke University Chapel bells, here are some of the many free and fun things you can enjoy at Duke this month.

During the academic year, the Working@Duke editorial team searches the Duke Event Calendar and elsewhere to find five free things to do at Duke. Check back in May for the next batch of events.

You will learn about the different epochs of the city from the foundation in 1147 till Soviet times of 20 th  century.

Moscow River

Moskva river has the form of a snake and is the main waterway of Moscow, consisting of a cascade of reservoirs. Within the city, Moskva river is 80 km long, 120 m - 200 m wide and up to 14 m deep. The narrowest part of the river is the Kremlin area in the city center, and the most extensive is around the Luzhniki Stadium in the south. 

Bridges in Moscow

Undoubtedly, bridges and embankments are among the most scenic spots and main attractions of Moscow. Plus, they are so romantic.

• Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge –  Great Stone Bridge –  is the main bridge of Moscow . The first stone bridge was constructed here in the 17th century.
• Patriarshy Bridge  is one of the youngest pedestrian bridges, built in 2004. The bridge connects the iconic Christ the Saviour Cathedral with funky Bersenevskaya embankment, extremely popular place among locals for its trendy art galleries, cafes and panoramic views. Patriarshy Bridge used to be a shooting location for ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's New Year speech to the nation.
• Borodinsky Bridge,  erected in honor of the 100th anniversary of the glorious victory in the Battle of Borodino (which every Russian kid knows about), a fierce legendary battle during the Russo-French war of 1812.
• Bagration Bridge  one of the  pedestrian bridges with most picturesque views of the Moskva River with its numerous upper-level observation platforms. The bridge was erected to celebrate the 850th anniversary of Moscow city in 1997.
• Krymsky Bridge  used to be in Top 5 Europe’s longest bridges some 100 years ago. The bridge got its name after the ancient Krymsky ford which Crimean Tartars used to invade Moscow in the 16 th  century.

Embankments of Moscow

Moscow river boats 37 embankments, the most popular being Kremlevskaya, Sofiyskaya, Pushkinskaya, Vorobyovskaya and Kolomenskaya.

You can get the most spectacular views of the Kremlin from  Kremlevskaya and Sofiyskaya embankments.

• Pushkinkaya embankment  is the most romantic in Moscow. It meanders along Gorky Park and Neskuchnyi garden and is rich for all kinds of entertainment as well as cozy nooks, including Olivkovy beach, the famous Zeleny theater as well as a pier for river cruisers.
• Vorobyevskaya embankment  is part of Sparrow Hills nature reserve. This place opens a beautiful panorama of the river and city from the observation deck and is considered to be the place for taking serious decisions in life.
• Embankment in Kolomenskoye  Museum-Reserve has a special charm due to its peculiar geographical relief. The boat trip around Kolomenskoye would be the most peaceful in your life.
• Taras Shevchenko embankment  is popular among photographers for its modern Moscow City skyscrapers. Highly recommended for your night boat trip.
• Embankments of Moscow are the pride of the capital. A distinctive feature of each of the promenades is its architecture and beautiful views. In addition, almost all the embankments of Moscow have a rich history and a lot of notable buildings.

Different epochs

Taking a walk along the Moskva River by boat, you will witness the architecture of Moscow from different eras and styles. Archaeological studies indicate that already in the XI century there stood a fortified settlement on Borovitsky hill, which is now called the Kremlin. Little fortress could not accommodate all the residents of the rapidly growing city, and the Grand Duke ordered the construction of a new Kremlin, larger than the former.

Boat trip around Kolomenskoe Park

Moscow river boat trip starts from the pier Klenovy (Maple) Boulevard and provides reat views of Nicholas Perervinsky monastery.

Nicholas Perervinsky monastery was founded at the time of the Battle of Kulikov (1380). The monastery, got its name from the surrounding area – “Pererva”, which can be translated like “tear off” and because of the location –  here it abruptly changed its course, turning to Kolomna, standing on the opposite bank.

Nowadays Kolomenskoye is State Art, Historical, Architectural and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve, which doors are open to everyone who wants to get in touch with the ancient history of Russia.

Take a break from the big city hustle in the shady parks and gardens of the Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve. Don’t miss a wonderful Church of the Ascension and Tsar Alexey’s Palace in Kolomenskoye!

Monasteries and temples

• Novospassky Monastery
• Founded in the 13th century on the site where now is located the Danilovsky monastery. After a few decades, in 1330, Ivan Kalita moved the monastery onto the Borovitskii hill of the Kremlin. However, in the 15th century, Spassky Monastery again moved, this time to a more spacious place on Krasnoholmskaya waterfront.
• Church of St. Nicholas in Zayaitskom
• Erected in the middle of the XVIII century in baroque style. The building survived after the 1812 fire, but the utensils were destoyed. Parishioners collected donations and restored the temple on their own. In Soviet times, it was closed and re-opened only in 1992.
• Cathedral of Christ the Savior
• The church was originally erected in honor of the victory over Napoleon and was being under construction for long 44 years. Notoriously demolished in 1937 to be a giant swimming pool under open sky. The current building was constructed in 1990s. It is the tallest and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world.
• The temple was built in 1679-82, during the reign of Tsar Fedor Alekseevich, in late Muscovite Baroque style and can be characterized as bonfire temple. Each gable is a symbol of a heavenly fire.
• Novodevichy Convent
• The most famous concent and monastery in Moscow, presumably founded in 1524. Novodevichy’s status has always been high among other monasteries, it was in this monastery where the women of the royal blood, the wives of Tsars and local rulers of Moscow were kept in prison as nuns.
• St. Andrew’s church  (male acts as Compound Patriarch of Moscow)
• St. Andrew’s church stands right on the slopes of the Sparrow Hills, on the way down to the Moskva River, on the territory of the Nature Reserve “Sparrow Hills”. The monastery is small in size but is very cozy. It’s situated in a quiet courtyard surrounded by temples, fruit trees and flowers.

College tour season is about to kick off. Here are 10 tips from college tour guides to have a successful campus visit.

• As spring starts, colleges nationwide will welcome parents and students to tour their campuses. 
• College tour guides want people to arrive on time, ask the right questions, and have fun.
• They also recommend students take the tours on their own, without their parents.

Spring break is right around the corner, and for many high-school students and their parents, that means many will be hitting the road to tour colleges around the country.

To make the most of your visit, Business Insider spoke with college students and tour guides. They know the campuses like the backs of their hands, and they know how to walk backward.

Here are the dos and don'ts of college tours from student guides .

1. Get there with no time to spare, but don't be late.

You won't get points for arriving early, so try to arrive on time. But if you do happen to arrive late , there's no need to worry.

"If something comes up and you are late, ask your guide what you missed once the tour finishes," Skyler Kawecki-Muonio, a senior at Sarah Lawrence College in New York, told BI. "They will happily fill you in."

2. Dress to impress, but don't sacrifice comfort.

It's important to look nice, but you don't have to don a jacket and tie. Tour-goers should put their best foot forward with a sturdy pair of walking shoes , and don't forget to dress for the weather.

"At Fairleigh Dickinson, tours go out rain or shine, so make sure to wear clothes that will keep you warm," Emily Bone, a junior at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey, said .

3. Don't forget to sign in, but skip the résumé .

Most schools have a check-in desk where you'll receive a campus map and other literature. But don't bother furnishing schools with your portfolio.

"Students can leave their résumés at home," Henry Millar, a senior at the College of William & Mary in Virginia, said. "Tour guides generally do not have any sway in the admissions process whatsoever, so feel free to save the paper."

4. Pay attention on the tour, but do it solo if possible.

Some schools offer to let parents and kids take separate tours, which has advantages.

"Get excited about your child's potential future in college, but give them some space to see what they think of that school on their own," Nathan Weisbrod, a junior at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, told BI.

Students can comfortably ask questions without a parent present and compare notes afterward .

5. Ask all your questions, but avoid personal interrogations.

This is the time to inquire about any aspect of campus life , and don't feel shy about speaking up.

"Tour guides love getting questions because it allows us to cater the tour, especially in small groups, toward the needs and interests of the families on that specific tour," Halle Spataro, a senior at Bucknell University, said.

But some topics are off-limits, so don't ask your tour guide about their SAT scores , ACT scores , or what they wrote about in their essay .

6. Speak up, but let the student take the lead.

Parents may be tempted to raise their hands again and again, but this tour is about the student, so there should be space to let them shine.

"Try to take the back seat — or the passenger seat — but refrain from driving all of your child's interactions," Julian Jacklin, a junior at Reed College in Oregon, said. "Students who feel they can own that experience usually ask the most questions and engage with the tour more."

7. Say thanks, but don't leave with questions unanswered.

Maybe your guide didn't hear you, or your kid was reluctant to speak up. You can still get the information you want before leaving.

"There's a lot of information students are getting that day and a lot of excitement with being in a new place, which can make people forget to ask certain questions," Lorenzo Mars, a junior at Pepperdine University in California, said.

Therefore, get your tour guide's email address so that you can follow up .

8. You may know exactly what school is right but keep an open mind.

Don't be surprised if a city-living kid is suddenly intrigued by a small-town setting.

"The college search and college experience are all about getting to know yourself better and growing, so on a tour, students have to trust themselves and their judgment of the 'world' they've just stepped into," Thomas Elias, a senior at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, said .

9. Take in as much as possible, but remember to have fun.

Sure, preparing for the next four years can be scary and stressful. But it's also an exciting milestone, so enjoy the ride.

"These tours serve as great opportunities to learn more about colleges — along with their cities, culture, and people," Connor Gee, a sophomore at the University of Mississippi, said. "Have fun with it!"

10. Weigh the pros and cons of the school, but don't stop there.

Your tour may be over, but you can still learn other ways to immerse yourself in college life .

"See if the school offers additional experiences, like eating in the cafeteria or attending a class," Emily Balda, a senior at Seton Hall University in New Jersey, said. "Consider it 'food for thought.'"

Duke's season ends with encouraging signs, big questions ahead of star-studded recruiting class' arrival

Jon scheyer made it two rounds further in year 2 than he did in year 1 after taking over for the legendary coach k.

When you don the iconic navy blue, play in front of the Cameron Crazies and follow in the footsteps of some of the sport's all-time greats, the expectations are high. Championship-level high. Every year, no matter the names on the back of the uniform. When the name on the front reads " Duke ," moral victories are fleeting ... if they exist at all. 

Jon Scheyer knows it as well as anyone. He played in 144 games for the Blue Devils and was twice a team captain. In his senior year (2010), Scheyer played the most minutes in ACC history and captained the Blue Devils to a national title.

Scheyer returned to Durham, North Carolina, in 2013 after a brief pro career. He hasn't left since, gradually moving up the ranks. In June 2021, Mike Krzyzewski didn't just announce he was retiring  after the upcoming season, but he  appointed Scheyer his successor . The man synonymous with the sport's most recognizable program was leaving impossible shoes to fill but knew exactly who he wanted to try and fill them -- an enormous honor with enormous pressure.

Duke has no reservations about Scheyer's accomplishments. On the second page of the team's 2023-24 media guide is a massive overlay of Scheyer smiling wide next to a headline that reads, "John Scheyer By The Numbers." National championships and ACC championships. Recruiting numbers. All-Americans and NBA Draft .

But there were no smiles after Sunday's loss to NC State in the Elite Eight. This wasn't just a loss to a conference rival but an in-state rival, often the forgotten member the Duke-North Carolina-NC State "research triangle." It came half a month after NC State stunned Duke in the Blue Devils' ACC Tournament opener, after which Scheyer said his team didn't have the "competitive fire you need to have in the postseason."

There was no lack of competitive fire this time, but rather a lack of composure. Kyle Filipowski , in likely his last game with Duke, shot 3 of 12 and fouled out. Mark Mitchell fouled out. Tyrese Proctor missed all nine of his shots. Team captain Jeremy Roach needed 13 shots to score 13 points. These were the veterans expected to carry the Blue Devils. Duke's offense was "probably the most disjointed game that we've had all year," per Scheyer, and completely fell apart late. The defense was a mess throughout the second period as NC State shot a stunning 19 of 26 in the final 20 minutes of game time. 

Two years into the post-Coach K era, we've seen improvement from the Blue Devils and from Scheyer. Duke was ousted by Tennessee in the second round last year, falling victim to a tougher, more physical team. This year, it went to the Elite Eight, beating arguably the toughest and most physical team in the country, Houston , along the way.

The progress was obvious. The Blue Devils had a top-10 offense and a top-15 defense nationally. They shot it better and turned it over less than Scheyer's first team. Kenpom.com ranked the Blue Devils as the 18th-best team in the country last year. This year? Seventh. And yet there's a familiar feeling of frustration, of missed opportunities, of wondering why this year was a half-step forward rather than a full step. At every other program, a season during which a second-year coach makes the Elite Eight is a success. At Duke, it's what Scheyer hopes is continued momentum.

"I think our program couldn't be in a stronger place," Scheyer said. "We're just 20 minutes away from going to a Final Four in our second year. I don't shy away from our expectations or what we want to do ... I couldn't be more confident in where this thing is heading and what we're doing."

So what, exactly, will Duke be doing in Scheyer's much-anticipated third year? Here's what the next iteration of the Blue Devils will look like:

Who's staying, and who's leaving?

It's a fascinating discussion every year in Durham. Filipowski, a sophomore, and freshman star Jared McCain are both in the top 20 of CBS Sports' 2024 NBA Draft Prospect Rankings and seem on their way out. Protctor is 40th.

While Roach technically has the COVID-19 extra year of eligibility if he wants it, the senior seems unlikely to return. He has spoken at length about his time at Duke , and he participated in Senior Night. Sixth-year center Ryan Young has exhausted his eligibility.

With McCain and Roach likely moving on and Proctor potentially doing so as well, the backcourt will be an area of focus. Caleb Foster missed the end of the season with an ankle injury, but the No. 23 overall prospect in the 2023 class showed promising flashes, shooting over 40% from 3. That's a solid start, but Duke will need more backcourt depth, especially should Proctor not return.

In the frontcourt, uber-athletic Sean Stewart also showed flashes in his freshman campaign. The final member of Duke's second-ranked 2023 recruiting class was TJ Power , a highly regarded shooter who saw inconsistent minutes.

Scheyer was loath to discuss offseason plans, but it is worth noting the Blue Devils had zero major contributors who either arrived or departed via the transfer portal last season, an extreme rarity. That could change this offseason, though, because ...

Loaded recruiting class incoming

Duke has an all-time great 2024 recruiting class coming in, led by an all-time great recruit: Cooper Flagg -- who earned a "perfect" 100 rating from 247Sports -- leads a massive six-player class .

• Cooper Flagg  (No. 1 overall, No. 1 SF)
• Khaman Maluach  (No. 3 overall, No. 1 C)
• Isaiah Evans  (No. 12 overall, No. 3 SF)
• Kon Knueppel  (No. 17 overall, No. 5 SF)
• Patrick Ngongba II  (No. 18 overall, No. 5 C)
• Darren Harris  (No. 51 overall, No. 14 SF)

It's not just massive in the number of players but the size of them. The 6-foot-5 Knueppel is the shortest . The Blue Devils figure to be one of the nation's most imposing groups next year, unlike this year.

It's worth noting, though, that there are no point guards listed in that group, while there's a massive influx of wings. That makes the presence and development of Foster a massive storyline. Whether Duke adds to the backcourt is a big question, too. In the (quite) recent history of the transfer portal becoming a roster-defining factor, the Blue Devils have added wings and bigs. That seems ripe for change. Steady, experienced guard play is in short supply and massive demand. Scheyer could offer an extremely attractive opportunity to a proven guard looking to play at a premier program, surrounded by premier talent.

Glass half-full or half-empty?

When assessing Duke under Scheyer, the optimism lies in the stats outlined above, in reaching the second weekend of the tournament and in the fact that Scheyer did all of that without the all-world, future lottery-pick talent that Duke teams under Krzyzewski had. Unless Filipowski or McCain take a huge pre-draft leap, Duke figures to go consecutive seasons without a top-10 NBA Draft pick for just the second time since 2010. The other instance was 2020 and 2021; the 2021 team didn't even make the NCAA Tournament.

While no one will ever say Duke lacked talent this year, it didn't have a star who consistently took over games. Filipowski showed it in flashes, and McCain did, too. But neither were an elite all-around force. A Zion Williamson. A Paolo Banchero. A Marvin Bagley III. A Jayson Tatum. A Brandon Ingram. The list goes on and on.

That won't be the case next season. Flagg is the real deal. Evans "has as much long-term upside as any wing in the class," according to 247Sports director of scouting Adam Finkelstein. Knueppel is a deadeye shooter, and Maluach and Ngongba will form an impressive front line. Scheyer will have more pure talent at his disposal than ever before, and his roster construction will change. A year after having iffy wing production, he'll have almost too many options. It'll be his job to sort through it all, mixing and matching and trying to keep everyone happy. But he'll have much more lineup versatility, especially if he can fill out the backcourt.

The pessimist, of course, won't care too much for advanced numbers. Duke finished 27-9 for the second straight year despite having a stronger-than-normal returning group and the nation's No. 2 recruiting class. The Blue Devils went an abysmal 2-5 against its in-state ACC rivals, including a sweep by North Carolina . They had two chances to end NC State's season and whiffed on both. They split with Wake Forest . They also lost to Pittsburgh at home for the first time since 1979. They lost their premier nonconference home game against Arizona .

They challenged for a split of the ACC regular-season title but fell short by losing to North Carolina in the finale. They didn't challenge for either the ACC Tournament title (which they won in Scheyer's first year) or the NCAA Tournament title. All this from a team that was supposed to be older, wiser and better.

The fair outlook likely lies somewhere in between. There's no denying the progress; making an Elite Eight is tangible evidence. There's also no denying that going into his third year, Scheyer will face more pressure for those true breakthrough wins in big moments. He swept a downtrodden North Carolina team last year and got swept by them this year, yes, but the Blue Devils were right there for a Final Four berth, something Scheyer couldn't say after his debut season.

Great things take time, even at Duke. Krzyzewski didn't make the NCAA Tournament until his fourth year in Durham and didn't win a tournament game until his fifth. Scheyer, of course, stepped into a much stronger situation, but he's ahead of schedule in that regard. Duke's championship-building schedule, though, is unlike anyone else's. If Year 1 for Scheyer was an adjustment period and Year 2 was a half-step forward, Year 3 -- with an NBA-ready roster and a coach now fully settled in -- will be the big one.

"We have to digest this loss first, which will take some time," Scheyer said. "Like we've experienced this postseason, some of the beauty of the tournament, and this is the heartbreak of it. We have to figure out why."
