Few investments are as important as the one you’ll make into your education. And with our graduates earning in the top 7% for lifetime earnings, we know a DePauw education is valuable. But first things first: what will it cost?
The cost of attending DePauw includes both direct costs (tuition, housing and meals and fees) billed directly by the university and indirect costs (books, travel, personal expenses and loan fees). Over 90 percent of our students receive aid to help reduce and manage these costs – over $63 million annually in the form of DePauw-funded scholarships and grants that do not have to be repaid.
| Billed Expense | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Tuition | $57,990 |
| Housing and meals | $15,330 |
| Mandatory fees | $1,080 |
| Total Direct Expenses | $74,400 |
| Non-billed Expense | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Books, course materials, supplies and equipment | $950 |
| Transportation | $800 |
| Personal expenses | $1,650 |
| Average loan fees | $70 |
Due to Federal Regulations, expenses reflected in the Cost of Attendance may differ from actual charges. 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 2024-2025 academic year at $7,990 which covers 21 meals per week (versus $7,450 for 18 swipes for the standard meal plan).
