Other Types of Aid
On this page you can find information about less common forms of financial aid.
The AmeriCorps program provides a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award of up to $7,395 for full-time members who complete their service to pay for college, graduate school, or to pay back qualified educational loans.
Students on financial aid who receive an Americorps Education Award will see the student contribution reduced, then the self-help (loans and work study) reduced before any University grant funds are reduced. In order to make the most of the service award, it is to the benefit of the student to understand the self-help levels in his or her financial aid package before requesting the AmeriCorps contribution. Please note, AmeriCorps awards will not reduce the calculated family contribution in any circumstance.
Duke University provides three ROTC programs for interested students, all of which offer the possibility of financial aid in the form of scholarships and other aid options.
