Giving Opportunities
Annual and Special Giving

Gifts every year make a huge difference.

Through the Funds for DePaul Program, the Office of Annual and Special Giving facilitates yearly direct mail and phone campaigns that raise funds from alumni, parents, and friends to support DePaul students in their pursuit of a premier education. The Annual Giving year runs concurrently with the fiscal year of the University, July 1 – June 30.

These campaigns provide the University and various colleges, schools, and programs with the additional resources they need to meet their most immediate and critical needs. Thanks to the generosity of DePaul alumni and friends, more students are able to take advantage of our outstanding educational opportunities that are rooted in the values and mission.

A strong Funds for DePaul Program strengthens DePaul by:
  • Making an immediate impact by supporting the greatest need of the college.
  • Providing financial aid and scholarships that help to attract and retain the most academically talented young students from around the world.
  • Demonstrating your belief in the power of education that makes DePaul #1 in ways that extend far beyond national ratings.
Think About This...
The average cost for one undergraduate course at DePaul is $1,776; and the average cost for one graduate course is $2,000.
  • If 100 alumni, parents, and friends gave $75 this year, this would pay tuition for four courses of undergraduate study for a student in need of financial aid and scholarship assistance or three courses of graduate study for a student needing financial aid and scholarships.

  • If 100 alumni, parents, and friends gave $150 this year, this would pay tuition for eight courses of undergraduate study for one student or seven courses of graduate study for one student.

  • If 100 alumni, parents, and friends gave $300 this year, this would pay tuition for one year of undergraduate and graduate study at DePaul University.
