How to Become a Bruin

DePaul Cristo Rey serves students who desire a college preparatory, Catholic education but could not otherwise afford one. While we consider many factors in the admissions process, the following are most important:

  • Capable of college preparatory work.
  • Low to moderate family income.
  • Age and legal authorization to work in the United States (age 14 by September 3, 2024).
  • Good discipline and attendance records. 

Financial eligibility is decided on a case-by-case basis after each family has completed DPCR’s financial aid form and submitted your 2022 or most recent tax return. 

Enrollment is closed for the 2023-24 school year. 8th graders can apply here for the Class of 2028.
