Dependents of a veteran who has been declared by the Department of Defense or U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to be a prisoner of war; missing-in-action; to have died as the result of a service-connected disability; or be permanently disabled from service-connected causes with 100% disability; and, who was an Illinois resident or was an Illinois resident within six months of entering service may be eligible for the scholarship. Eligible dependents are entitled to full payment of tuition and certain fees to any state supported Illinois institution of higher learning consisting of the equivalent of four (4) calendar years of full-time enrollment including summer terms (i.e., 120 points).
An application for this scholarship can be obtained at Veterans Services, Moulton 112, or directly from the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs. Upon approval, you will be issued an Illinois MIA/POW Scholarship I.D. card. Provide a copy of the card to the Financial Aid Office, Fell Hall 231, so the scholarship can be applied to your tuition and partial fee charges.
