Please be advised that the deadline for international applications to the September 2002 class is April 1, 2002. All material must be received before this deadline. There are no exceptions.
If you are looking for a program that can offer you significant financial aid in order for you to attend, please be advised that our program is small and has very few resources to support students. Most of our students work during the day. Working at such a job is not available to students who are not citizens or permanent residents of the United States. We do offer partial tuition waivers to students who we think will make a significant contribution to the program, but even the largest of these awards covers only 25% of the program costs. Individuals on F1 (student) visas are not eligible for any financial aid provided by the Federal government. International students may be eligible for academic scholarships from outside DePaul when these are available. Please be advised that financial aid cannot be assumed or guaranteed. International students requiring visa documentation (an I-20 form) must provide evidence of their ability to finance their education for the first!
