Duke Fuqua MBA Scholarships

Q: Is there a specific MBA scholarship for Indian students at Duke Fuqua?

No, Duke Fuqua does not offer a separate, named MBA scholarship specifically for Indian students. However, Indian applicants are automatically considered for all merit-based scholarships available to admitted Daytime MBA candidates.

Q: How and when will I know if I have received a scholarship?

Scholarship information will be communicated to you as part of your electronic admission letter. There is no separate scholarship application; all admitted applicants are automatically considered for merit-based awards based on their overall MBA application profile.

Q: Can I get a scholarship for the second year if I don't receive one in the first year?

Duke Fuqua's merit scholarships are awarded for the entire two-year duration of the MBA program. Generally, there is no additional funding for new merit scholarships in the second year, so students who enroll without an initial scholarship award should not expect to receive one for their second year.
