Description

If you have served at least one year of federal active duty service in the Armed Forces of the United States; or served on federal active duty service in a foreign country during a time of hostilities in that country and were honorably discharged after your most recent period of federal active duty service; and/or are honorably serving, you may be eligible for the Illinois Veteran Grant (IVG) Program. Any member of the Illinois National Guard or a Reserve component of the Armed Forces of the United States who meets the eligibility requirements is considered a qualified applicant for the IVG Program. Qualified applicants are encouraged to submit an IVG Program application if they anticipate attending college at any point in the future. To be considered eligible, applicants must satisfy one of the four categories of Illinois residency requirements, which can be seen in the program's website. Applicants must notify their college's financial aid office of their eligibility status as soon as possible, but not later than the last scheduled day of classes in the term for which a grant is requested. Applications for the IVG Program can be submitted any time during the academic year for which assistance is being requested. The complete information about the program and the list of eligible schools are available on the program's website. Please visit the program's website or contact ISAC for more information.
