North Carolina Legislative Tuition Grant

If you have been awarded the North Carolina Legislative Tuition Grant (NCLTG) for the 2011-12 academic year but have NOT completed the application, your NCLTG award will not post to your student account. In order to have these funds available to pay your student charges, you MUST complete the NCLTG application. Applications must be received by our office by FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 23rd!!! Failure to submit a completed application may cost you up to $1,850 in aid that will not be replaced by other grant funds.

The application is available online at:/ http://www.finaid.duke.edu/documents/forms/ug_ncltg.pdf.

Please complete and sign the application. You can drop off, fax or email the application to our office:

Health Insurance (Reminder)

In addition to the health fee, students are required to maintain adequate medical insurance while at Duke. If you are receiving financial aid and do not have access to health insurance, you should complete the health insurance waiver (NOT the application) process and get a "decline of waiver." you still need to complete this section to prove you need the Duke health plan. Completion of the waiver verifies you are not eligible to waive coverage and must be covered by the University program. Additionally, completion of the waiver ensures that your expected family contribution will not increase, and Duke will adjust your current grant assistance to cover the cost of the insurance plan.

Sibling Enrollment Verification

If you indicated on your financial aid application that you have a sibling who is also enrolled as a full-time student and will have tuition expenses this year, you will need to complete the Sibling Enrollment Verification Form this month. Forms will be emailed to students in the first week of September and will be due on October 6th. Completion of the form is required for all eligible students, and failure to complete the Sibling Enrollment Verification Form may result in a reduction of financial aid.
