Hey everyone, Duke is one of my top choices but I'm not certain about the tuition costs. Can someone provide some insight into what I might be expected to pay? Much appreciated!
Hi there! Duke University's tuition and fees for the 2024-2025 academic year are approximately $69,140 (please note that tuition and fees are subject to change each year). However, this number does not include additional costs, such as room, board, books, and personal expenses. When you factor in those costs, the total estimated cost of attendance for Duke is around $88,938 per year.
While these numbers may seem high, it's important to remember that Duke offers financial aid packages to help offset the cost for qualifying students. Duke practices a need-blind admission policy for U.S. citizens and permanent residents, and it is committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need. To get an estimate for your potential financial aid package and what you might be expected to pay, the best thing to do is visit Duke's Financial Aid Website and use their Net Price Calculator. This tool will provide you with a more accurate estimate based on your family's financial situation.
Additionally, it's always a good idea to explore external scholarships to lower the overall cost of attendance further. There are many scholarship resources online, and you can also ask your school counselor for suggestions on where to begin your search.
Best of luck with your college applications!
