Step 3: Keep an Eye on Your To-Do List
After you complete the CSS Profile, your DukeHub To-Do list may indicate that you need to submit additional documents to complete your financial aid application. Please keep an eye on your To-Do list!
Be sure to check your to-do items in DukeHub regularly! If our office needs additional documents from you to complete your aid application, we'll list them there.
International Students
If you're an international student currently receiving financial aid, you don't need to reapply. Your aid will be renewed automatically each year.
International applicants must have checked the financial aid interest box on their original Duke admissions application to receive need-based aid at any point while at Duke. In addition, there are no need-based or merit scholarships available for international transfer students.
