How DePauw compares across our verified dataset

  • 669 of 750 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.

    DePauw is one of them. The cohort minority (81 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
