"The generosity of Mr. Prevo, who passed away in 1975, continues to benefit the community and its most talented 
young scholars," says Stefanie Niles, dean of admission at DePauw. "It was heartening to see so many of the area's top students choosing to continue their education at DePauw, and we'll be delighted to welcome them next month."
Prevo Scholarships may range in value up to full tuition for one year. The scholarship is also subject to renewal each year the recipient remains qualified for the award. Applicants must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and DePauw's Application for Need-Based Assistance.
