Dues & Funding
All Sport Clubs charge dues, or a membership fee, to help offset the cost of daily operations. The dues vary from year to year, can range from $50 to $1000+ annually, and are dependent on Club-established initiatives. Additional funding may be required by Club members to accommodate expenses beyond the day-to-day operations, such as: training and development, postseason assistance, Dream Trip assistance, and student scholarships.
To help keep Sport Clubs open and accessible to all current members, individuals who require financial assistance towards dues are able to apply for funding from the Gorter Endowment to be able to participate in their club of choice.
Duke Sport Clubs Canvas Site
Duke Sport Clubs utilizes a Canvas course to store resources for club officers and members to easily access. Sport Club participants can find information pertaining to necessary forms and documents, answers to common questions, and many other helpful resources on this site.
About the Gorter Endowment
The Kevin Gorter Memorial Endowment was created by the Gorter Family to honor Kevin Gorter, who was a member of the Duke Club Ice Hockey team from 1984-1987 and President of the Duke Sport Club Council for the academic year 1986-1987. Participating in Sport Clubs was a highlight of Kevin’s time at Duke, and it is in Kevin’s honor that his family has established an endowment to promote, assist, and expand the Sport Club Program at Duke University.
Sport Club participants who are registered on DoSportsEasy are welcome to apply for financial assistance to help alleviate the cost of dues to participate in a single club. Once an application has been submitted, all identifying information is redacted, and an impartial committee comprised of Full-Time Professional Staff Members within Duke Recreation and Physical Education will review applications. Please allow 12-14 business days after your submission to receive a response from the Sport Club Office regarding the amount of financial assistance that you were awarded.
This opportunity is offered twice per academic year. The opening and closing dates for 2025 - 2026 are the following:
- Fall 2025:
