DePaul University offers a variety of scholarship options for undergraduate and graduate students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. Merit scholarships, such as the Presidential Scholarship, recognize academic excellence and range up to full tuition. Need-based grants, like the DePaul Grant, assist students with demonstrated financial need.
Program-specific scholarships are available for fields like music, theater, and STEM. Transfer students and international students also have dedicated scholarships. Additionally, external scholarships and private donor-funded awards further expand opportunities. Applicants are automatically considered for many scholarships upon admission, while others require separate applications or essays.
