hey! Duke meets 100% of a student’s need right? What if (hypothetically) someone comes from an extremely low-income household, but gets accepted to Duke? Would that not be grounds for a full need-based ride?
@babyboop Please see post 2 above – the OP does not expect to qualify for much need based aid and therefore is looking for merit scholarships.
Some schools like UAlabama offer merit aid for qualified OOS students but probably not a full ride.
Yes. If your family is middle or working class (65k/y or under) you’d get a full ride, need based scholarship.
Then each income bracket is asked to contribute an increasing percentage of their income+savings+ assets.
However if your family makes 250-300k but they dont want to pay for college, you have 6 years during which either you get a merit scholarship at colleges that offer those or cannot attend college at all.
Each student must run the NPC to see whether Duke orbother colleges are within budget.
Hello! Can I ask which scholarship you have been selected for? I am a finalist for the AB scholarship and have absolutely no idea why. If you have any insight into the interview process or just in general how they even select finalists for the AB that would be amazing.
