The Named Scholar Program

Washington C. DePauw Society members who make an Annual Fund gift of $5,000 or more qualify to participate in our named scholar program. By having your gift directly support a current student through a partial, half, or full-tuition scholarship you are having a direct impact on their DePauw experience. During Old Gold Weekend, named scholar benefactors are invited to meet with the student scholarship recipients who benefit from their support.

Scholarship support is a vital investment for the University in order to make today's DePauw experience accessible to diverse and talented students of high academic promise. Nearly half of DePauw students receive need-based financial aid while and an additional 40% qualify for merit scholarships.
