Civilian students using Employer Tuition Reimbursement must provide a letter or forms prior to the start of the semester with invoicing procedures from your employer and an agreement for direct tuition reimbursement.

Pell Grant and Loan paperwork can be obtained at the base office or online through the Financial Aid Office under Military Programs.

Illinois Veteran’s Grant (IVG) is available to eligible Illinois Veterans. See base coordinator for application or provide your IVG acceptance letter to receive this benefit.

Grants and scholarships can be applied for by individuals. Please notify your base coordinator of any awards so that the proper forms can be sent to the Financial Aid Office.
