Duke's In-State Tuition Rate?

Hey guys, I'm a NC resident and Duke is one of my top choices! Can anyone shed some light on what the in-state tuition is like at Duke? Is there any significant reduction for residents?

Hello! Duke University is a private institution and operates differently from public institutions when it comes to tuition rates. For private colleges, tuition rates don't differentiate between in-state and out-of-state students. As of the current academic year, the tuition fee at Duke is $66,326 per year, excluding other expenses like housing, dining, and fees.

However, if you are concerned about the cost, it's essential not to ignore the importance of financial aid which can greatly aid in reducing the out-of-pocket cost for students. Duke follows a need-blind admission policy for U.S citizens and permanent residents, promising to meet 100% of demonstrated need. This means they don’t consider your financial situation when reviewing your application, and they are committed to ensuring that all admitted students can afford to attend.

You should check out Duke's Net Price Calculator (https://npc.collegeboard.org/app/duke) to estimate the amount of financial aid you may receive if you get into Duke. This will give you a sense of what your family will actually have to pay after receiving need-based aid or any merit-based scholarships. Remember, the cost should not deter you from applying to your dream school.
