Duke University Karsh International Scholarship

Founded in 2010 with a donation from Martha L. and Bruce A. Karsh, the Karsh International Scholarship supports an intellectually and civically engaged cohort of international students at Duke. The award covers tuition, room and board, mandatory fees, any demonstrated need exceeding those costs, and three summers of funding for research, unpaid internships, and other opportunities advancing the scholar's academic career. International applicants must have demonstrated financial need to be eligible; there is no separate application — candidates are considered when they apply to Duke and request financial aid. Scholars come from countries including Botswana, Bulgaria, Chile, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe.
