DeVry Grant for Surviving Dependents of Rescue Workers, Civil
Servants & Military Personnel
In response to the terrorist attacks carried out against the United
States on September 11, 2001, DeVry, Inc. has established a grant
program for the surviving dependents of rescue workers, civil servants
and military personnel killed by injuries sustained that day in
the line of duty. This includes rescue workers, members of the military
and civil servants killed at the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
The grant is designed as a full tuition scholarship at any DeVry
location. Beneficiaries may receive the equivalent of up to 9 semesters
of financial assistance restricted by the length of the enrolled
student's program. At current tuition levels this award has
a value of up to $58,770.
Eligibility:
- Students must be a United States citizen or eligible non-citizen.
- Students must be enrolled on a full-time basis.
- Students must be enrolled two (2) semesters of each fiscal year.
- Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress and must
maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.75.
- Students must not be in default on any student loan nor owe
a refund on any state or federal grant.
- Students must be the spouse, natural child, legally adopted
child, or child in the legal custody of the rescue worker, civil
servant or member of the military at the time of the death.
All grant recipients are expected to complete their applications
for all applicable federal and state aid. The DeVry Grant for Surviving
Dependents of Rescue Workers, Civil Servants and Military Personnel
will be reduced by the amount of any Federal Pell, Federal SEOG, or other
federal, state or private tuition-restricted aid awarded to the
recipient.
DeVry/Keller Military Service Grant
DeVry supports the commitments of its students to serve in the
U.S. Armed Forces through the establishment of a Military Service
Grant. This grant is available to all students who are called to
active duty during the course of their studies. The following provisions
explains the terms and requirements for this grant:
- The DeVry/Keller Military Service Grant is available to students
called to active duty at a time, which necessitates the interruption
of studies during a term (quarter, session or semester). The grant
is available only to those students who resume their studies following
their active duty service.
- Upon resuming their studies, students must provide written
documentation of active duty service.
- The amount of the grant is equal to the net amount of tuition
that is charged for the interrupted term of study less any grant
applied to tuition for the resuming term. The grant is to be used
during the first term the student resumes.
- The DeVry/Keller Military Service Grant, when combined with other grants, loans and work assistance for the term, may not exceed financial need. Please see the Student Finance Office for definition of financial need.
- Additionally, students who are called to active duty while still
having a balance due to DeVry are eligible to have their account
put in a hold status. This status would suspend all interest accruals
and payments during the student's duty. Students seeking
this suspension are required to submit copies of their call-up
papers to the campus Student Finance office.
