Due to Federal Regulations, expenses reflected in the Cost of Attendance from the Financial Aid Office may differ from actual charges on this page. Housing and meals are determined based on DePauw's four-year residency requirement. Also, the Financial Aid Office calculates the cost of food for the 2026-2027 academic year at $8,590 which covers 21 meals per week (versus 18 swipes for the standard meal plan). In addition to direct costs, students should also plan on indirect costs estimated at $800 for books, course materials, supplies and equipment; $1,000 for transportation; $1,700 for miscellaneous personal expenses; and $70 on average for federal student loan fees.
