Please be advised that, due to federal regulations, any scholarship, grant or other award must be included in your Financial Aid Package and considered in your total Cost of Attendance. Included in your Cost of Attendance are both Direct and Indirect Costs associated with your educational expenses. Direct Costs are charges that you pay directly to DePaul, including estimated tuition and fees. Indirect Costs are expenses that are not charged directly to your student account by DePaul, including off campus housing, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. You may view your Cost of Attendance on Campus Connect: Click the Financial Aid tile > View My Financial Aid > Year > Estimated Cost of Attendance. Please be aware that should you receive a scholarship, grant assistantship, stipend or award at any time during the year, your financial aid, including loans, may be adjusted at that time. When a loan is reduced financial aid will send the money directly back to your lender, no additional steps are required. This will not change the total amount of aid you are eligible to receive for the aid year; it will decrease your total loan debt.
