Veterans
Veterans who enroll in Moraine Valley courses may be eligible for the Illinois Veterans Grant (IVG). Applications are available at isac.org. To qualify, a veteran must have met the following conditions:
- been a resident of Illinois prior to and within six months after having served in the armed forces of the United States;
- served at least one year of continuous active duty; and
- received an honorable discharge.
According to state guidelines, students must maintain a minimum cumulative 2.0 grade point average (GPA), which includes developmental and remedial courses, to remain eligible for the grant.
Student records will be reviewed at the end of each semester (including summer). If a student’s GPA is below 2.0, a letter will be sent to the student stating the criterion for academic progress has not been met.
A minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA must be achieved in the next semester of enrollment for continued eligibility. A student will not be eligible for the grant until the criterion has been met.
To be eligible for Veterans Administration Educational Benefits (GI Bill™), you must be a degree- or certificate-seeking student in an approved accredited transfer/career certificate program and making satisfactory academic progress according to college standards. Applications are available at gibill.va.gov.
Students receiving Veterans Administration Educational Benefits must attend a mandatory two-hour veterans advising session to ensure you are planning to register for courses that are consistent with your educational and career goals. Each subsequent semester, veterans must meet with an Academic Advisor prior to registering.
Online remedial courses cannot be certified for veteran’s receiving the GI Bill™.
