Special Note on Housing
Students who choose the city apartment option should be aware that they will need to pay utilities and a security deposit. The security deposit will be refunded to them at the end of the prorgam if there is no damage to the apartment. In addition, students who chose the apartment option will receive fewer meal vouchers as they will not be taking breakfast on the island but instead will be self catering in their residences for breakfast.

Financial Aid
Duke students receiving financial aid are eligible for aid for this program (work-study funds must be converted to loans). Students are individually responsible for making the necessary arrangements with the Office of Undergraduate Financial Aid and the Bursar. Non-Duke students are not eligible to receive financial aid at Duke and should contact their home institutions for financial aid information.
