Support business students who are ready to make a difference.

At the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business, we believe in developing difference-making students who lead with integrity, think boldly, and are committed to making positive change in both their careers and their communities. The Alumni Difference-Maker Scholarship provides vital financial support to talented students who embody the Spiritan mission and values of Duquesne University. 

This endowed scholarship fund helps us recruit and retain students who:

  • Are enrolled in or accepted to the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business,
  • Demonstrate financial need,
  • And maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA while remaining in good standing with the University.

Scholarships are awarded through the University's Office of Financial Aid and are renewable for up to four years.

Your support today makes their success possible tomorrow.
Every gift—no matter the size—adds to the legacy of excellence at Duquesne. Join fellow alumni and donors in ensuring that deserving students have the opportunity to pursue their dreams and transform the future of business.
