Hey all, I've been accepted into Duke (yay)! Now I'm currently trying to figure out the financial aspect. Can anyone tell me how much the tuition is at Duke? Trying to get an idea for budgeting and all that.
Congratulations on your acceptance to Duke! The total tuition for Duke University for the 2024-2025 academic year is around $66,326. However, please remember that tuition is not the only aspect of college costs. On top of tuition, you should budget for room and board, which is approximately $19,798 at Duke. Other additional costs can include books and supplies, personal expenses, and travel, which can add up to several thousand dollars per year.
Keep in mind, these are just estimates. The actual amounts can vary based on factors like whether you live on or off campus, your personal spending habits, the specific courses you take, and so on.
If you require financial aid, the Duke financial aid office is a great resource for understanding what aid you might be eligible for, including grants, loans, and work-study opportunities.
Remember to use Duke's Net Price Calculator (https://npc.collegeboard.org/app/duke) to get a more accurate picture of what you'll pay after factoring in financial aid, as the sticker price can oftentimes be much higher than your actual cost. Also, Duke meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students, so the university will work with you to ensure it is affordable.
I hope this gives you a starting point for your budgeting. Again, congratulations on your acceptance and best of luck!
