2010 Angier B. Duke Memorial Scholarship Winners
5/14/2010
Fifteen high school graduates have won prestigious Angier B. Duke Memorial scholarships.
The A.B. Duke scholarships are awarded to outstanding students who show promise of being intellectual leaders. The scholarships stem from the Angier B. Duke Memorial Inc., established in 1925 by university co-founder Benjamin Newton Duke in memory of his son, Angier Buchanan Duke.
The awards cover full tuition plus room and board for four years (one year may be spent abroad on a university-approved program) and include a six-week summer study program at Oxford University in England. Based on estimated tuition rates, a scholarship will be worth more than $200,000 to a student over a four-year period.
