Illinois Veteran Grant

The Illinois Veteran Grant (IVG) is a state-funded financial aid program administered by the state of Illinois. The program provides educational benefits to Illinoisans who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States.[1]

The IVG provides recipients with the full amount of tuition and fees to attend any approved public universities and community colleges in Illinois.[2]

Veterans who were residents in the state of Illinois at least six months before entering military service and who have completed a full year or more of federal active duty (or have served in a designated combat zone) may be eligible for the grant. Qualified applicants may use this grant at the undergraduate or graduate level for the equivalent of four academic years of full-time enrollment. A recent program update allows eligibility for veterans who did not return within six months after discharge if they have been a resident of Illinois for at least 15 consecutive years.[3]
