Active Duty Military Scholarship
The Duke University School of Nursing supports active duty military students with tuition expenses through a special scholarship program. Active duty Army, Navy, and Air Force students who have been admitted to an MSN or DNP program and meet the eligibility criteria are automatically considered for DUSON’s military scholarship; ABSN and Certificate students are not eligible for this scholarship.
Scholarships range from $40,000 to $56,000 total toward required tuition and fees. Scholarship award notifications are sent through the Admissions portal shortly after acceptance.
Veterans who are eligible for 100% of Post 9/11 GI Bill® benefits are not eligible for the active duty scholarship but are eligible for Yellow Ribbon funding. See the Assistance for Veterans section below for more information about using your Veterans benefits and applying for Yellow Ribbon.
