The Durham Tech Foundation Scholarship Application will open Saturday, March 15. Submit your application by Wednesday, April 15.
Durham Tech disburses financial aid in the forms of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study opportunities within the college.
- A grant is money that does not have to be repaid.
- A scholarship, which does not have to be repaid, is money awarded under special conditions — usually in recognition of outstanding achievements.
- A loan is money that you must repay.
- Work-study provides the opportunity to work part time in administrative or departmental offices, the Library, laboratories, and other sites on or off campus. View the full list of work-study employment opportunities and internships.
