Why Duke?

I loved that Duke didn't make me pick between my passions—I was given the opportunity to pursue my varied interests. The Trinity Scholarship provided me the financial freedom to pursue my passion and give back to my community, while also giving me a built-in group of scholar friends that I can rely on for support and encouragement throughout my years at Duke and beyond.
