Duquesne University offers several scholarship options for direct applicants, including merit-based, need-based, and specialized awards. Merit scholarships, such as the Presidential Scholarship, recognize academic excellence and range up to full tuition. Need-based aid requires FAFSA submission and considers financial circumstances.
Specialized scholarships include the Duquesne University Grant, aimed at Pennsylvania residents, and the Spiritan Scholarship for community service leaders. Transfer students may qualify for the Transfer Merit Scholarship. Athletic scholarships are available for student-athletes. Prospective students should check Duquesne’s financial aid portal for deadlines and eligibility criteria, as some awards require separate applications or essays.
