A gift to the Iron Dukes Annual Fund makes an immediate difference for Duke student-athletes by helping provide one of the most essential needs in college athletics: scholarships. As Duke supports 27 varsity sports, the commitment of alumni, families and friends remains critical to meeting the rising cost of a world-class education. For 2025–26, a single athletic scholarship is $97,181, and Duke’s total academic costs are projected at $25.5 million for tuition and fees plus $4.5 million for room, board and cost of attendance. Your support helps ensure Duke student-athletes have the opportunity to thrive in the classroom and compete for championships.
