My Appeal
Earning a college degree—that symbol of hard work, of long hours, of persisting through novel challenges and pushing boundaries to achieve more than should have been possible—is the proudest moment in many students’ academic careers. For some DePaul students, financial barriers that are always difficult and sometimes impossible to overcome can interrupt the dogged pursuit of their dreams, often with just a few classes left to take. When DePaul students need one last boost to complete their degrees, The Finish Line Fund is there to help. The Finish Line Fund provides critical, immediate-use funds to DePaul students who need financial assistance to complete the last remaining requirements for their degrees.

My Cause
The Mission:
As an innovative Catholic, Vincentian university anchored in the global city of Chicago, DePaul supports the integral human development of its students. The university does so through its commitment to outstanding teaching, academic excellence, real world experience, community engagement, and systemic change. DePaul prepares graduates to be successful in their chosen fields and agents of transformation throughout their lives.
Guided by an ethic of Vincentian personalism and professionalism, DePaul compassionately upholds the dignity of all members of its diverse, multi-faith, and inclusive community. Through education and research, the university addresses the great questions of our day, promoting peaceful, just, and equitable solutions to social and environmental challenges. Since its founding in 1898, DePaul University has remained dedicated to making education accessible to all, with special attention to including underserved and underrepresented communities.
About the Organization:
DePaul University provides exceptional academics and real-world experiences to prepare students for a changing world. With nearly 22,000 students and some 300 academic programs, DePaul has two campus locations in Chicago. Students richly benefit from the city’s many opportunities. In turn, DePaul is one of the forces that shapes Chicago’s
future. The university was founded in 1898 by the Congregation of the Mission (Vincentians), a Roman Catholic religious community dedicated to following the ideals of St. Vincent de Paul. DePaul is among the nation’s top universities for diversity because of its long tradition of providing a high-quality education to students from a broad range of backgrounds. Today, DePaul is the largest private, nonprofit university in the Midwest.
