Financing graduate education can be a challenge. The Palumbo-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. Up to six fellowships are awarded each year.
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.
Please note that students who are already receiving tuition remission or assistance from Duquesne University are not eligible.
