This is a list of external scholarship opportunities. Please visit the external links provided with each opportunity for more information. Make sure you research the external opportunity thoroughly. Following points will help understand what to look out for while applying.

1. Scholarships promising assured winnings are likely scams.
2. Beware of offers received without request/applying, as legitimate scholarships require an application process.
3. Be cautious of scholarships with urgent deadlines, as reputable opportunities typically have standard application timelines.
4. Legitimate scholarships never require payment for application; even small upfront payments/fees should be considered suspicious.
5. While basic contact details are standard, be cautious if asked for sensitive information like social security or banking details. Most reputable scholarship programs will prefer to send their scholarship funds directly to DePaul University where it will be processed for the recipient.
6. Be wary of scholarships with broad eligibility criteria, as legitimate opportunities often have specific requirements.
7. Legitimate providers will provide contact details for inquiries; absence of such information suggests potential scamming.
