Q: Does Duquesne offer tuition discounts for Catholic High School students?
A: Effective with the Fall 2007 freshman class, Duquesne University has eliminated its Parish Scholarship program. Applicants for admission will be considered for other institutional scholarship funds that have replaced the Parish Scholarship. Freshmen will benefit from this change since they will be notified of their scholarship eligibility at the time of admission. Additionally, the parish administrator will not have to complete a nomination form. Last fall, enrolled freshmen received almost 8 million dollars in Duquesne University- funded scholarships. Please contact Duquesne University's Office of Admissions at (412) 396-6222 if you have additional questions. |
