Student Lending PrinciplesDuke University has established a set of publicly available principles and policies to govern educational lending practices for undergraduate, graduate and professional students. These principles emphasize that lending practices proceed from a commitment to the best interests of our students, that we support students' right to choose their lenders and that neither Duke nor its employees accept financial payments, goods or services of material value from lenders. All employees involved in financial aid and student lending are subject to a rigorous conflict of interest policy. Administrators may serve as unpaid members of lender advisory boards in order to help shape the products and services that will best meet the needs of our students; in such cases, Duke pays all costs associated with that service.

Duke offers educational loans from a variety of sources, including federal, state, private, commercial and institutional. The average loan debt for undergraduate students who graduated in the 2007 aid year was $23,392 . While we encourage students and their families to borrow with care, we do understand that borrowing for one's education is an important investment in the future. That said, please borrow wisely, taking on no more debt than is necessary and manageable. For more information about the loans offered by Duke, please select your student populationNicholas School of Environment Short Term Payment PlanDuke University offers a payment plan through Tuition Management Systems (TMS). This option allows students and parents to make monthly payments over the course of the year rather than making a large, single payment or taking out more loans than you need.
