Your Partner in Learning During COVID-19  

On March 11, 2021 the American Rescue Plan, 2021 (ARP) was signed into law.  This law established the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund III (HEERF III), providing additional funding available to institutions of higher learning. DeVry University (DVU) received and acknowledged the Grant Award Notification and signed the institution certification form on August 6, 2021, with our assurance that DVU will award 100% of the Emergency Financial Aid Grants to eligible students. As of June 30, 2022, we have received $2,082,379 in grant funding for this purpose.

The institution identified 16,355 students potentially eligible to receive the Emergency Financial Aid Grants to students. As of June 30, 2022, 8,880 students have received an emergency grant. Total amount of grant funds disbursed to students at this time is $2,082,379.

To be considered for HEERF III funds, DVU will utilize a request form where potentially eligible students confirmed any unexpected expenses that may have been incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic such as expenses for food, housing, course materials and technology, healthcare including mental health and childcare. In addition to completing the request form, students must have been enrolled as a regular student in an eligible program of study in the September 2021 session and have a valid 2021-2022 ISIR on file with an Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) of 0-6500. 20 students did not claim their HEERF II Funds in our initial allocation and they were reallocated to 20 other students.  The eligibility criteria used for the reallocation mirrored the initial allocation requirements, but the student must have been enrolled as a regular student in an eligible program of study in the May 2022 session instead of the September 2021 session.

DVU determined that the most equitable way to disburse these grant funds to our impacted students, was to divide our total allocation among the eligible students who completed the request form.

Information on the use of these grant funds and how to complete a request form was communicated to students via email the week of September 20, 2021. For Previous Reports, please click here.
