COE APPEAL FUND DEADLINE WED (5/19)

slerner3
We just wanted to remind you of the COE APPEAL FUND DEADLINE coming up on Wednesday, May 19 (see more information below).
The College of Education Appeal Fund Scholarship seeks to provide relief to those students facing financial obstacles to education brought on by the pandemic or other life events. Financial challenges include but are not limited to tuition account holds, licensure exam registration fees, background check fees, and technological needs. Please note that while there is an essay requirement, the short essay serves as a method for students to self-identify financial need; therefore, writing composition will not be a factor in determining scholarship award results.
We encourage you to apply if you are experiencing financial difficulties. You can find more information here: https://depaul.academicworks.com/opportunities/35523

Wellness Wednesday

🌙 Rest can look like sleep … but it can also look like:

  • Being unproductive
  • Time away from draining energies
  • Solitude outdoors
  • Logging off
  • A limited to-do list
  • A safe space
  • Letting go

Which of these feels best for you today?
