Financial Aid & Assistantships

Financing graduate education is a challenge for many students. The Donahue School offers competitive financial awards – including scholarships, fellowships and graduate assistantships – on a merit basis to domestic and international full-time students in all of our graduate programs.

Initial awards are based on application credentials, undergraduate transcripts and standardized test score reports. Awards for subsequent semesters are based on academic performance in graduate coursework at Duquesne and award-specific criteria.
