The Trinity Scholars Program
Trinity Scholarships honor Duke’s origins as Trinity College, located in Randolph County, North Carolina. Offered to students from specific regions of North and South Carolina, Trinity Scholars excel academically and are engaged community leaders. For some Trinity scholarships, students may also need to demonstrate financial need. Together with peers in the Trinity Scholars Program, Alumni Scholars have access to mentoring from faculty, staff, and fellow scholars.
