Illinois Veteran Grant

The Illinois Veteran Grant is a program in which the state of Illinois provides educational benefits to certain Illinoisans who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States.
The IVG provides recipients with the full amount of tuition and fees to attend any approved public college or university in Illinois.
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 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.
