Advisors' Advice
Advisors’ Advice: Explore other cultures at Duke
You don’t have to travel around the world to explore another culture. Duke and Durham have diverse communities and opportunities. Read through our Explore By: Place or Culture page for ideas on how to get started.
Advisors’ Advice: Start thinking early about post-grad merit scholarships
You’ve probably heard of the most prestigious post-graduate scholarship programs: Fulbright, Marshall, Rhodes, etc. But you may not have realized that the application processes for these programs can begin as early as junior year. Access a database of post-graduate scholarship opportunities and learn more about the required qualifications and application processes through the Office of Undergraduate Scholars and Fellows (OUSF). OUSF holds information sessions about many of these scholarships in April.
Advisors’ Advice: Learn from each other
Duke is full of really smart, interesting people – make a point to learn from them! Visit our Explore by: Ways to Learn page for a few suggestions. If you're traveling abroad, be sure to check out the International Student Registry. Duke's international students want to talk to others about their home countries!
