Calculations for private or out of state school attendance include:
Full-time attendance is encouraged. If a student decides to attend post-secondary school on apart-time basis, which is less than 12 credits per term or 24 credits per academic year for most schools, they may receive up to $250 per credit. The amount for graduate school is up to $333.33 per credit.
Calculations for graduate school attendance include:
Note: When the DVR Training Grant form is marked "Y" for graduate school, the funding for credits is calculated at a higher rate due to the higher cost of attendance for graduate school. The formula is weighted to provide a higher funding level for graduate school credits. Regardless of the number of credits entered, the Training Grant amount max will be $6,000 per academic year.
