Renewal risk profile

DePauw's published renewal rules cluster around a 3.0 floor with no major-GPA gating, which is survivable for the typical freshman with steady study habits. The risk is non-renewal due to enrollment status (dropping below full-time), not GPA.

How DePauw compares across our verified dataset

  • 665 of 749 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.

    DePauw is one of them. The cohort minority (84 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
