DukeEngage's funding
The Duke Endowment and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation each contributed $15 million in early 2007 to start an endowment that will enable a significant portion of Duke's student body to serve locally, nationally and internationally through DukeEngage.
Any Duke undergraduate who has completed at least two semesters of classes is eligible for participation. Duke will cover expenses (travel and living) associated with the immersive experience. For students on need-based financial aid, Duke will also assume responsibility for the "summer earnings" requirement.
