DePauw Mentioned in Wall Street Journal Article on Saving for College

April 19, 2005

April 19, 2005, Greencastle, Ind. - "Not all schools offer merit awards," writes the Wall Street Journal's Jeff P. Opdyke. "Some that do so have a merit-award calculator on their Web site to help gauge the amount of cash a student potentially is eligible for based on grade-point average and either SAT or ACT scores. A GPA of 3.5 and an ACT of 28 would earn merit awards of between $4,000 and $8,000 at DePauw University, in Greencastle, Ind., according to the school's calculator."

Opdyke's article offers advice on "How to Save for College… When You Don't Have Much Time." It appeared in the March 28 edition of the Journal and is reprinted in today's Star-Telegram of Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. "Your dreams of buying your kid an education aren't out of reach," Opdyke writes. "Though the costs seem daunting, a variety of resources are available to help parents put aside money or tap a vast reservoir of cash in the form of grants, scholarships and loans. The hard part is finding all the options out there." Read the complete article by clicking here.
