Cost & Payment Options

When choosing a college, the key word is "choice." It makes sense to look at cost, but that is only one factor to consider as you plan for your future. Quality of education, your abilities and interests, and the college's programs, location and alumni success should all play a role in your decision. The DePauw Financial Aid Office will work with you to find the best combination of options for funding your education.

Laptop Expense

In addition to the above expenses, beginning fall 2005, the University will require all enrolling first year students as well as current sophomores to purchase a laptop computer for use in course work and campus activities. Read about this initiative and link to two vendors selected to supply the laptops for this initiative here. These vendors were selected both for the dependability of their product as well as their affordability for staff members and families of students.

Payment Options

There are four payment options available, two offered by DePauw University and two outside plans endorsed by DePauw. Detailed information on payment plans is mailed to incoming students each spring.
