The Blue Demon Challenge has ended, but you can still make a difference for DePaul students!
School of Continuing and Professional Studies
Today is the Blue Demon Challenge: Give Now!

Today is the Blue Demon Challenge, DePaul University's day of giving when alumni, parents, friends, students, faculty and staff come together to give back—and this year, our Challenge is bigger than ever! Your gift of any size TODAY can help us get one step closer to reaching our biggest goal yet: raising $5,000,000 in a single day!

The School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS) offers a comprehensive, innovative approach to continuing and professional education, making available programs and delivery modalities to provide access to a broad range of students within SCPS and other DePaul colleges and schools. During the Blue Demon Challenge, your gift to SCPS can go even further: 

  • SCPS Challenge: If we receive 50 gifts to the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, a donor who wishes to remain anonymous will give $10,000 to the Fund for School of Continuing and Professional Studies!

Today you can help DePaul make history while making a DePaul education a reality for deserving students. Give now!
