How to Receive Benefits
Application Fee Waiver
You must indicate your participation in Bright Horizons EdAssist within the Pratt School of Engineering application for admission. You will find an option to identify yourself on the Demographics and Funding Information tab of the application. The application will then prompt you to upload an employer verification letter.
Request an application fee waiver at this link. Fee waivers must be requested in advance of the application, as we are unable to refund application fees after the payment has been processed.
Tuition Scholarship
After enrollment, Bright Horizons EdAssist students will be required to download an EdAssist verification letter and submit it each semester to the email PrattBrightHorizons@duke.edu. The tuition scholarship will be posted to your account after tuition bills have been posted.
Please note that changes to your enrolled credits will change the scholarship that you receive each semester. Based on your employers' policies for tuition assistance, you may be required to pay the full tuition bill and be reimbursed, or your employer may subsidize your tuition directly with Duke University.
It is important to understand these payment policies in advance of when your bill is due, and we recommend confirming this information with your employer and that it be included in your employment verification letter.
Sponsor Billing
- Students should provide copies of their bills to sponsors/third parties responsible for paying their bills
- Sponsor bills will be generated after the drop/add
- Government agency/employer sponsors who require a direct bill from Duke must forward sponsor billing information to the Bursar’s Office as soon as possible.
- Full sponsor billing information is available at finance.duke.edu
Please note the tuition reduction is effective for enrollment in future terms and will not be applied retroactively.
