you may be eligible for the Illinois Veteran Grant (IVG) Program. Any member of

Qualified applicants are encouraged to submit an IVG Program application if
they anticipate attending college at any point in the future. While program
eligibility can be confirmed for qualified applicants at any time, funds will
be disbursed only for terms in which you are enrolled at an Illinois public college
or community college.
