Does anybody know what percent of NC/SC applicants receive a scholarship, since there are two merit awards specifically for the Carolinas?
I don’t know the exact answer, but each year there are usually around 10 BN Duke recipients, 3-4 Trinity Scholars, and maybe 1 or 2 other NC/SC residents receiving another merit scholarship (e.g. AB Duke or Reggie). So around 13-16 scholarship recipients out of approximately 245 freshmen—somewhere around 5-6% of the NC/SC freshmen receive merit scholarships. As for applicants, it would be much, much lower–probably well under 1%.
