Outside Scholarships
In addition to the awards available through DePauw, Federal, and Indiana sources, there are many other organizations that also offer scholarships.
We encourage you to explore scholarship opportunities from civic and private organizations and foundations. These could be based on your parents' employment, church affiliation, or your own academic interests and an outstanding academic record. Check with your high school counseling office or use the Scholarship Search Engine links at the bottom of the page.
The Financial Aid Office regularly receives notifications from scholarship organizations. Notices that we receive by mail are posted on the office bulletin board. Notices that we receive electronically are posted on this webpage. Stop by our office and/or look below to research these opportunities.
