Scholars Program & Scholarship
As the tech industry continues to grow, large groups of workers remain under-represented, including women7 and Latinos. DeVry is working to help close these gaps through programs launched between 2021-2022:
*Students may participate in one DeVry-based scholars program only. Those who qualify for more than one program will be presumed to accept the program that is most beneficial for them. Students who qualify for multiple programs must confirm, in writing, the scholars program in which they wish to participate prior to starting classes at DeVry University.
