Hear from Scholarship Recipients
I had multiple teachers who were Duquesne alumni who had such good teaching styles, and I knew that coming to Duquesne I would get the best education and experience.
The Future Educator Scholarship made it easier to decide to commit to Duquesne and helped with making school affordable. From my first tour, I knew Duquesne was the right fit. The School of Education felt welcoming, personal and committed to helping every student succeed.
