In honour of the exceptional contributions international scholars make to Duke University, the Karsh International Scholarship was founded in 2010 thanks to a generous donation from Martha L. and Bruce A. Karsh. Karsh International Scholars comprise an intellectually and civically engaged cohort of international students who promote interdisciplinary inquiry, academic research, and scholarship in the service of society. International applicants must have demonstrated financial need to be eligible, and there is no separate scholarship application students apply to Duke University and request financial aid, and are considered for the Karsh Scholarship through that same process. The current cohort of scholars includes students from Botswana, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, England, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Iran, Kenya, Mongolia, Nepal, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, Pakistan, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Syria, Tunisia, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe.
The Karsh International Scholars Program is administered by Duke University’s Office of University Scholars and Fellows, with Dr. Giovanni Zanalda, an economic historian and former Director of the Duke University Center for International and Global Studies, serving as Faculty Director. Duke University is a private research university in Durham, North Carolina, recognized for its strong undergraduate and graduate programmes and its commitment to supporting talented students from around the world.
