Get the discount when you apply
On a graduate degree application, select "yes" for Employer Cohort and then choose your company from the drop-down list. For an undergraduate application, simply choose McDonald's as your employer from the drop-down menu on the admission application. In both cases, the application fee will be waived and you will be eligible for the discount. DePaul will verify your employment.
Get the discount if you already attend DePaul
Go to Campus Connect. Select the Profile tile. Next, click Work Experience in the left-hand navigation bar. Click the Add Work Experience button. Update your current employer information by selecting McDonald's from the drop-down box.
You will be required to attach proof of your employment as instructed on the Work Experience panel. Please do not submit any password-protected documents.
Please contact the scholarship team at ofascholarships@depaul.edu if you have any questions.
Deferred Payment Option
You may defer payment until the end of the term by using DePaul's Employer Tuition Deferral Plan.
Military and Veterans Benefits
Serving returning military members has been a priority at DePaul since World War II. We do not limit the number of veterans who can enroll through the Yellow Ribbon Program, which provides tuition-free education to eligible students.
