Unusual curiosity abounds

Duke University is a scholarly community that prizes academic ability and intellectual complexity. Within the Angier B. Duke Memorial Scholarship Program, unusual curiosity abounds.

For more than six decades, Duke University has honored a select group of undergraduate applicants with a scholarship that recognizes them as exceptional individuals whose intellectual and experiential work we support wholeheartedly – and financially.

The A.B. Duke Scholarship, Duke University's premier merit scholarship program, brings together people whose eclectic and electric minds are in constant motion. It's where insatiable inquiry transforms seekers into thinkers and thinkers into doers – and vice versa. Science and the arts coexist, risk and reason converge in the A.B. Duke Scholar.

A.B. Duke Scholars are poised to lead creative conversations that inspire action and positive change across disciplines and across borders. Their quest for knowledge in all fields drives them to explore hard questions through collaborative intellectual experimentation. Consequently, A.B. Duke Scholars earn lifelong involvement with a community of talented and ambitious learners.
