Ensure that your application for undergraduate admission indicates a “yes” in the financial aid interest box. If you did not initially check this box, you must do so by contacting the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to change your designation. International applicants who indicate interest in financial aid are considered in a separate admission pool, and those admitted with “no financial aid interest” are ineligible to apply for financial aid for any year of undergraduate study.

Submit your application, documentation, and the following items by February 1, and ensure that all documents are translated into English and U.S. Dollars:

• 2020–21 CSS Profile Application
• 2018 Tax Returns or Foreign Country Equivalent
• 2018 W2s or earning statements for the parent and student

Documents should be sent to Duke through fax or email, below:
