Duke Fuqua MBA Scholarships Renewal Process 2026
Renewal Guidelines & Conditions
Merit scholarship awards are generally for the entire 2-year duration of the MBA program. However, Fuqua typically does not have funding for new scholarship awards in the second year. Therefore, students who enroll without scholarship funding in their first year should not anticipate an award for the second year. If an admitted applicant defers their enrollment, any scholarship awarded in the initial year is not guaranteed for the subsequent matriculation year and will be re-evaluated during the admissions cycle prior to matriculation.
Key Renewal Prerequisites
- Must pass the previous annual/semester examination in the first attempt.
- No active backlogs or ATKT are permitted in most professional programs.
- Must maintain regular class attendance (typically 75% or higher) validated by the college.
