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 Educators of Impact 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.
