Heidelberg's mascot, the Student Prince, is named after a German operetta of the same name and our school colors are from Germany’s flag used to represent the German and Dutch Reformed Church. Today, the University retains these connections through a unique study abroad program with its namesake city – Heidelberg, Germany. 
DEPAUL UNIVERSITY MERIT AND NEED-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS DePaul University, located in Chicago Illinois, is a Catholic private university with nearly 300 graduate and undergraduate programs and concentrations. With just 70 students when it was founded in 1898, DePaul has grown to become the nation’s largest Catholic university. DePaul, named for St. Vincent de Paul, has maintained its commitment to serve students who might otherwise be denied a quality education, from turn-of-the-century women and returning veterans to first-generation, low-income city residents. Our urban, multicultural perspective has led to innovative programs and a hands-on learning approach that reflects our deep ties throughout Chicago and a growing international influence.
