Duquesne University
Decision sheet

Pennsylvania · Research checked 2026-07-02 · School research, not an aid offer

The starting point

Duquesne's merit aid runs from automatic awards like the Becker and Spirit of Excellence Scholarships up to the no-loan Rangos and competitive Honors Fellows, with STEM Scholars and several endowed and recognition awards.

Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.

Awards to discuss

Ask before you decide

  1. Which entering-year policy and residency category apply to us? What are the admission and scholarship deadlines?
  2. What grades and credits are required to renew, and for how many terms?
  3. How would other school awards or outside scholarships change the offer?

Recorded stacking policy: Duquesne only reduces financial aid when total aid exceeds cost of attendance; within that COA-triggered reduction, student loans are always reduced first, and institutional aid may also be reduced depending on the amount and type of the outside award.

The research date is not a guarantee that a policy still applies. Confirm current amounts, deadlines and conditions with the school before making a financial decision.
