Cuneo Foundation Scholarship Application

The Cuneo Foundation Scholarships are need-based scholarships to assist students in Catholic universities in the greater Chicago region. These scholarships are designated for students who exhibit academic excellence, a passion for service, and a desire to help create a more just society.
This is a one-time, $10,000 award for rising juniors and seniors for Academic Year 2026-2027.

To qualify for a Cuneo Scholarship, students must:

  • be enrolled at DePaul as an undergraduate student, with junior or senior status for AY 26-27
  • demonstrate a high level of academic potential
  • be actively involved in academic and co-curricular activities
