WASHINGTON D.C. (February 8, 2008) - Veterans pursuing higher
education through DeVry University may be eligible for scholarships
up to $1,000, but the deadline to apply is quickly approaching.
Applications for 2008 AMVETS/DeVry University scholarships are
due Feb. 15. Veterans and their family members are encouraged to
apply for one of 10 scholarships being offered for 2008 spring
semester.
The scholarships of up to $1,000 may be applied to undergraduate
and graduate programs at both DeVry and its Keller Graduate School
of Management for online and on-site programs, AMVETS officials
said in a recent news release. Applicants are eligible for
scholarships every semester of enrollment, up to $9,000 throughout
the course of a degree plan.
Those wishing to apply must submit an essay, a copy of a valid
DD 214, a resume, a letter of recommendation and their most recent
completed tax return. A full listing of eligibility rules and an
application form can be found on the AMVETS Web site,
www.amvets.org.
AMVETS partnered with DeVry and its school of management last
year to provide up to 30 scholarships per year at a value of up to
$1,000 each.
DeVry, which offers programs in 25 states and Canada, as well as
online, started the program as a way to honor veterans and their
families, officials said.
AMVETS is a supporter of America Supports You, a Defense
Department program connecting citizens and companies with
servicemembers and their families serving at home and abroad. The
service organization is a longtime proponent of higher education,
offering a variety of scholarship programs to veterans and their
family members.
