Your Degree is Within Reach

At DeVry University, we want to make investing in your future as affordable as possible. We’re ready to work with you to understand our Tuition and Expenses, and help you discover the range of financial aid options available to you. 

Learn if you qualify for any of our scholarships and grants. In addition, you may qualify for corporate tuition savings programs, work-study programs, state and federal assistance, including grants, Federal Grants or student loans.

Federal financial aid may make college more affordable, and completing an application is an important first step to determining your eligibility. Your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) results may also be used to determine your eligibility for certain grants, loans and scholarships. 

Learn about the application process below or contact us for assistance.

Apply for financial aid

Our 5-step application process can make submitting your application easier. 

1. Check Your Eligibility

To qualify for financial assistance, you must:

  • Enroll as a degree-seeking student

  • Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen

  • Maintain satisfactory academic progress

  • Not be in default on a federal educational loan

  • Not owe an overpayment on a federal educational grant or loan

  • Register with Selective Service (if you are a male born on or after January 1, 1960, over 18 years of age and not currently in the armed forces) Although federal student aid no longer requires male students to register for Selective Service, some states still require student registration and you may be asked to verify your status.

  • Have a high school diploma or equivalent

2. Determine Your Dependency Status (Undergraduate Students Only)

The federal government has established how dependency status is determined for federal financial aid purposes. If you are considered dependent, your parent(s) income and asset information must be included on your FAFSA®. This information will be used in addition to your information to determine your eligibility. Answering "yes" to any of the following questions means you are an independent student for 2022-2023:

  • Were you born before January 1, 1999?

  • As of today, are you married?
