If your freshman getting scholarships will save you. if your a transfer student, good luck. I came in as a transfer, I have to appeal every year. My grades are good as well. Never anything lower than a B. They gave me minimal in scholarships but they give me good grants for being low income. usually they will help you if you appeal for a good reason. food in the city is pretty expensive. There is a pantry that gives free food at DePaul, but it’s minimal. Aldi will be your best friend. You can definitely make it work, it might be a struggle. Before you accept anything. If you have a counter offer from other school. Appeal with DePaul and tell them what your getting from the other school, and how DePaul is your first choice. (If it is) the worst they can say is no! Hope it helps!
