DeVry Completion Grant

The Pathway to a Little-to-No Debt Education

As a leader, you can help close the opportunity gap and create development opportunities for all levels of employees by modifying a game-changing component to your tuition program.

By partnering with DeVryWorks and offering the DeVry Completion Grant to your team members, you can help team members take advantage of your tuition benefits program by reducing or eliminating employees’ reliance on student loans.

What is the DeVry Completion Grant?

The DeVry Completion Grant is designed to reduce tuition debt and help qualifying students pursue their educational aspirations more affordably.  

How does the DeVry Completion Grant work?

The grant covers the cost of tuition and fees* remaining on a student’s account after other financial assistance such as tuition assistance, and grant aid, such as Pell grants and other federal and state-provided financial aid or scholarships have been applied.

Eligibility

Financial Restrictions & Timing

Enrollment Status*

To be eligible for the DeVry Completion Grant, you must meet the employment requirements of a participating organization. New and readmit students who enroll in the selected Completion Grant programs at DeVry University in the eligible sessions may be eligible.

To enroll, eligible students must meet DVU or Keller admission requirements and start by the eligible session.

_{*For a better understanding of eligibility and restrictions, contact us and we will personally assist you.}

Initial Eligibility*

In addition to standard enrollment documents, eligible students must fill out and submit the following forms:

Eligibility & Billing Form (E&B)
Direct Bill Payment Plan Agreement Form
Completion Grant Student Consent for Information Release Form
Completion Grant T&Cs

Undergraduate students must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) to apply for any federal and state grants. Any federal or state grant(s) would be applied first to the student’s account before the company’s Tuition Assistance (TA) would apply.

Continued Eligibility*

To maintain eligibility, students must take only one course per session, and maintain continuous enrollment. Qualified students must meet the grade expectations outlined by their organization. Additionally, DeVry requires that students must maintain a CGPA as outlined in the academic catalog to avoid academic dismissal and must have a 3.0 CGPA for graduate programs to graduate and a 2.0 CGPA for undergraduate programs to graduate.

Students can only take two sessions off in their program and still maintain grant eligibility.

Undergraduate students must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) to apply for any federal and state grants each award year and provide any applicable financial aid documents. Any applicable grant(s) would be applied first to the student’s account before the company’s Tuition Assistance (TA) would apply.

If a student is no longer eligible for the Completion Grant at DeVry University:

If the student leaves their organization, they will be removed from the program and any DeVry Completion Grant funds received during the length of the program OR during the latest session will be charged back to the students account and the student will be responsible for the balance on their account.
If a student is involuntarily terminated due to workforce reduction, they will also be removed from the program and the DeVry Completion Grant will be used to cover any tuition and fees on their account up to that point. The student will receive guidance on other ways to pay for the rest of their education and complete their certificate program.
If the student is no longer eligible, any credits on the student account will not be given back in the form of monetary reimbursement.

_{*For a better understanding of eligibility and restrictions, contact us and we will personally assist you.}

Limitations*

The DeVry Completion Grant program does not cover repeat course work and optional charges at the bookstore, those are the responsibility of the student. Additionally, the DeVry Completion Grant is not available for students who are enrolled in a higher credential program and eligible to earn an undergraduate or graduate certificate as an embedded credential. If a student is determined ineligible for the grant, they will no longer be able to participate in the program.

The DeVry Completion Grant can only be combined with the DeVry Alumni Advancement Grant. If there are any one-credit-hour courses, they must be paired up with another course. Students with a SEA (Student Education Agreement) must complete all required financial aid documents by the end of the first session, otherwise, they will be removed from the program. For future award years, it is important to complete the FAFSA® and other relevant financial aid documents before the start of the award year to maintain program eligibility and registration.

*For a better understanding of eligibility and restrictions, contact us and we will personally assist you.

Financial Restrictions*

The DeVry Completion Grant can be applied to eligible tuition and fees** that remain as a balance on the student's account. However, the grant cannot be applied to any balance resulting from a credit balance issued to the student.

An eligible student will not have incurred any external debt for their institutional charges. Students who are determined ineligible for the grant will cease to participate in the program. If a student becomes ineligible to continue participating in the program for any reason, any unused DeVry Completion Grant funds will not be refunded to the student.

If a student loses eligibility, Completion Grant funds previously disbursed will be reversed and no additional funding will be awarded, and the student will be responsible for any balance on their student account.

DeVry University cannot limit a student's access to eligible financial aid funds without their consent. Students who borrow loan proceeds beyond the established program guidelines will be responsible for repayment according to the Federal Title IV program.

Timing

The Completion Grant will cover the student’s eligible balance of tuition and fees and will be awarded in the session following successfully completed courses in Week 3 after invoicing has occurred.

^{*Fees include course resource fee, learning management system (LMS) access fee, student services charge and eBooks. Please note the Completion Grant will not cover optional bookstore charges.

**Expected Family Contribution (EFC) serves as an index number that determines your eligibility for federal student financial aid. This number is derived from the information you provide in your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form.}
