FAQs:


What does the DePaul Catholic Fund support?

Donating to the DePaul Catholic Fund during the annual appeal is the primary way for parents, alumni, and friends to provide financial support to the school. The funds raised during the appeal will be put to immediate use, which allows the school’s administration to offset costs in real-time and fund financial aid, fund academic merit scholarships, support all of the school’s co-curricular programs, and make needed capital investments.

Does DePaul Catholic Provide Financial Assistance to its Students?

Approximately 80% of DePaul Catholic’s student body receives some form of financial assistance in the form of an academic merit scholarship or need based financial aid. Providing financial assistance to our school families aligns well with the mission and core values of DePaul Catholic High School and our patron saints St. Vincent DePaul and Elizabeth Ann Seton.

The DePaul Catholic administration is committed to help all students that have the capacity to meet the academic rigor of DePaul Catholic High School to attend the school.

Academic Merit Scholarships are awarded based on middle school academic performance and coursework, High School Placement Test results, recommendations and student interviews.

Financial aid is awarded based on need. DePaul Catholic has a long-standing "Adopt-A-Student" program that is the backbone of the funding for the school’s financial aid program. Adopting a student is a fantastic way to make a DePaul Catholic education affordable to a deserving student. Financial aid is also made possible through unrestricted giving.
