Join Duke’s community of high impact changemakers
At Duke, we are better together.
Our student body is comprised of more than 50 percent students of color. We are more than 55 percent women. And, we are more than 50 percent students with demonstrated financial need.
As our student population grows more representative, so do our alumni. And that makes us proud. Together, our community is building a Duke where everyone can belong.
That’s the power of us.

Supporting Undergraduate Students Minoring in Asian American & Diaspora Studies
The Duke Asian Alumni Alliance Scholarship Fund has been established to empower undergraduate students at Duke. With the support of three generous lead donors, we’ve raised $100,000 so far—but we still need help raise an additional $200,000 to fund a permanent scholarship endowment to help students minoring in Asian American & Diaspora Studies.
Invest in the scholarship fund to help create something meaningful for years to come!
