Enrollment Status
To be eligible for the Women+Tech Scholarship, you must be enrolled in one of DeVry’s undergraduate Engineering & Information Sciences undergraduate degree or certificate programs.* Qualifying new and readmit students who identify as female and meet all admissions requirements and the standard English placement requirement at DeVry University are eligible. Additionally, readmit students who have a DeVry cumulative GPA (CGPA) of 2.5 or above at the time of admission and are in good academic standing at DeVry University are eligible.
Grade Point Average and Continued Eligibility
To maintain scholarship/grant eligibility, you must retain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 and be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours per semester. Your DeVry cumulative GPA will be reviewed each semester for compliance with the minimum requirement.
If your CGPA falls below 2.5, you will lose your scholarship and future awards. If you fall below 6 credit hours of enrollment in any one semester and you do not enroll in at least 6 credit hours in the subsequent semester, you will lose your scholarship and future awards. You will also not receive scholarship funds for the one semester below 6 hours of enrollment. If you fall below 6 credit hours of enrollment again in the subsequent semester, you will lose your scholarship and future awards.
If you transfer to a program that is not eligible for the Women+Tech Scholarship, you will lose your scholarship and future awards.
Readmit Students
If you are readmitted to DeVry after missing six or more consecutive sessions, you may be eligible for the Women+Tech Scholarship if:
- You have a DeVry CGPA of 2.5 or above at time of admission
- You are in good academic standing. If you are unsure of your standing, contact an admissions representative.
Restrictions
Only applicants enrolling in one of DeVry’s undergraduate Engineering & Information Sciences degree or certificate programs* are eligible for this scholarship. Applicants enrolling in any other program are not eligible.
If a scholarship recipient does not start within their intended start term, their scholarship will expire, and they will have to reapply for available offerings at time of actual enrollment.
This scholarship cannot be combined with any other special pricing programs, including military rates, partner group tuition rates through DeVryWorks or the DeVry University Opportunity Grant.
Lifetime award for the Women+Tech Scholarship is capped at $3,750 if enrolled in an introductory tech essentials certificate program, $6,000 if enrolled in a tech certificate program, $9,000 if enrolled in an associate program and $18,000 if enrolled in a bachelor’s program, which will be awarded as $1,500 per semester for full-time students, $1,125 for students attending three-quarter time and $750 per semester for students attending at least half-time per semester.
Re-matriculating Students
Scholarship recipients who graduate and re-enroll within one session after graduation into a higher-level Engineering & Information Sciences program that qualifies for the Women+Tech Scholarship will qualify for an increase in available funds to the new lifetime cap for the higher credential level, and previously disbursed Women+Tech scholarship funds will be included in the determination of the remaining available lifetime benefit.
Scholarship recipients who re-enroll into a higher-level Engineering & Information Sciences program that qualifies for the Women+Tech Scholarship later than one session after graduation must reapply for the scholarship, if available. If approved, the scholarship benefit will increase to the new lifetime cap for the higher credential level, and previously disbursed Women+Tech scholarship funds will be included in the determination of the remaining available lifetime benefit award.
Program Changes
Scholarship recipients who change to a program at a lower credential level may lose eligibility if the total Women+Tech scholarship funds already disbursed exceed the lifetime benefit cap for the lower credential. Scholarship recipients who change to a program that does not qualify for the Women+Tech Scholarship (non-EIS programs) will lose their scholarship and future awards.
