After four years of higher education, Ximena just graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Duke University where the annual cost of tuition was $24,000. She paid for college by earning $10,000 annually through the work study program and receiving an annual scholarship. She covered the remainder of the costs by taking out $16,000 in student loans. If she didn't fund her education with savings or grant money, what was the amount of Ximena's annual academic scholarship?
