Scholarships at DeVry University

  • American Pathway for International Scholars

    Official page

    Beginning with the January 2024 session, international undergraduate and graduate students living abroad and studying fully online (not on an F-1 visa) may receive a scholarship worth 50% off the prevailing tuition rate. It is aimed squarely at new or readmit international undergraduate and graduate students studying online from outside the United States, requiring standard placement testing and a qualifying ESL test score (e.g., IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL iBT 61 for undergraduates) unless English was the language of prior instruction. Continuing undergraduate students must maintain a 2.25 cumulative GPA and remain enrolled in the Online-International location; the award is not combinable with other DeVry special pricing programs.

  • International Student Scholarship

    Official page

    A $5,000 scholarship for new, readmit, or transfer-in students enrolling in an approved I-20 program who are studying in the United States on an F-1 visa during their first year. The award is divided across the student's first three semesters ($1,667 / $1,667 / $1,666) and applies to tuition only. It is explicitly open to undergraduate and graduate international students on F-1 status; U.S. citizens and permanent residents are not eligible, which confirms this is an international-student-specific award. Continuing eligibility requires a 2.5 cumulative GPA (undergraduate) or 3.0 (graduate), maintained F-1 status, full-time enrollment, and a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester for undergraduates.

All scholarship information on Studee is provided for guidance only. Always check the university's official scholarship page for the latest information on eligibility, award amounts, deadlines, and application requirements.
