<p>Foreign Citizens
There are two applicant pools for foreign citizens: those not applying for financial aid who will be considered for admission along with U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents, and those applying for financial aid who will be considered in a separate process for a limited number of places in the entering class. Foreign citizens who apply for financial aid must apply through Regular Decision. Also, foreign citizens who do not apply for financial aid initially may not subsequently apply for financial aid during their time at Duke unless they become U.S. citizens or permanent residents.</p>

<p>Foreign citizens who are not U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents applying for financial aid must submit the International Student Financial Aid Application along with a copy of their family's most recent national tax forms. The financial aid application is available on the Financial Aid Office Web site and should be submitted with the admissions application.</p>

<p>International students living with their families in the United States should submit the same financial aid materials Duke requires for U.S. citizens except the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).</p>

<p>For more information about financial aid, please visit the Financial Aid Office Web site.</p>

<p>International Admissions officers are listed on this page:</p>
