DeVry Career Empowerment Grant

Empowering education: Without the need to borrow

If you’re looking to make the dream of education more affordable for your team, look no further than the DeVry Career Empowerment Grant. This Grant allows your team to maximize their existing tuition benefits while drastically reducing - or even eliminating - the need for student loans.*

The impact for your oganization:

  • Strengthen retention and internal mobility

    When employees see a clear, affordable path to advancement, they are more likely to stay, grow, and pursue internal opportunities.

  • Maximize tuition benefit utilization

    Many employees underutilize tuition benefits due to cost concerns. The Career Empowerment Grant helps to remove that barrier, increasing participation in an existing benefit.

  • Build a strategic talent pipeline

    Align academic programs to your priority roles and create structured upskilling pathways that support succession planning and long-term workforce strategy.

  • Advance equitable access to education

    By minimizing financial barriers, organizations can extend meaningful educational access to employees across all levels, not just those who can afford upfront tuition costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

The DeVry Career Empowerment Grant is designed to reduce tuition debt and help qualifying students pursue their educational aspirations more affordably.

How is the Career Empowerment Grant calculated?

The Career Empowerment Grant* is designed to cover the remaining tuition after employer tuition benefits are deducted. Reference the example equation above.

Who is eligible for the Grant?

Eligible employees include new, current and readmit students who meet your company’s employment requirements and DeVry or Keller admission standards. The grant is not available to employee dependents.

Which programs are covered?

All DeVry and Keller undergraduate and graduate programs qualify for the grant. Annual credit hours depend on program cost and company tuition assistance limits.

Can we focus on specific programs?

Yes. We can align eligible programs to your organization’s priority roles and workforce development goals, creating structured upskilling pathways, all with a focus on using existing resources.

What if the employee exceeds the tuition reimbursement amount?

Employees can work proactively with their student support advisors to adjust their course load if they wish to stay within their annual limit. If students wish to take more credit hours than their employer tuition benefits annual cap allows, they will be responsible for tuition charges that are not covered.

What if an employee fails or withdraws?

Employees who don’t pass or withdraw will be responsible for any balance on their student account. They can remain eligible for the grant program as long as their balance is paid prior to the start of the subsequent session of classes.

When is tuition due?

DeVry offers deferred billing, so employees can provide proof of grades for reimbursement and have additional time to pay their tuition and fees.
