Degree Completion Grant
The purpose of the Degree Completion Grant is to provide former CTU students (physical and virtual campus) the opportunity to return and complete their previously attempted degree. Eligible candidates whose prior academic records indicate that the student has:
- At least one required course to complete or eligible credit towards a related lower level degree; AND
- Is within 14 quarter credit hours for Associate programs, 27 quarter credit hours for Bachelor programs, and/or 8 quarter credit hours for Master programs of completing a degree may apply for the Degree Completion Grant.
Verification of credit eligibility is required from CTU's Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) Department, who will review prior academic credit. CTU's Degree Completion Grant offers a grant of $1,000 to qualified students. If a student's previous program of study is no longer offered, the grant may still be applied to a new program of study.

- Students must remain continuously enrolled once re-admitted to receive the grant.
