The cumulative gross sticker price for four years of undergraduate education at DePaul University—combining private instructional tuition, mandatory student fees, residence hall housing, and meal plans—typically totals between 220,000 and 250,000 dollars before financial assistance. However, because the vast majority of undergraduate students receive institutional merit-based scholarships, departmental awards, or need-based financial aid grants, the actual net out-of-pocket cost paid by families is substantially lower than the advertised gross sticker price.
