Congress has recently authorized the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008, Chapter 33), known as the Post-09/11 GI Bill. This bill, effective August 1, 2009, provides comprehensive educational benefits to veterans who served after September 11, 2001.
Please note that many details about this program and its implementation are not yet available. We will make every effort to keep this website updated as additional information is released.

Special Update: New Legislation Enhances Student Loan Benefits
Legislation has been passed that will significantly benefit undergraduate students who borrow federal student loans, and their parents who borrow Federal Parent Loans (PLUS). Preliminary information about the legislation is described in brief below. Please note although this legislation takes effect after July 1, 2008, the U.S. Department of Education has not yet issued regulations or implementation dates. We will continue to monitor updates to this legislation and keep you informed on this web site.
This legislation will make additional unsubsidized loan funds available to undergraduate students. This additional loan eligibility would add the option of an increased $2,000 in annual Federal Direct Unsubsidized Student Loan funds to eligible students whose costs support this increased loan amount.
We anticipate that we will send all eligible students a revised award notice, reflecting this increased eligibility, as soon as we receive full information from the U.S. Department of Education. Eligible students will have the option of accepting this additional $2,000 loan, reducing any PLUS or private loan funds by this amount.
This legislation also allows parents to choose to defer payments on a 2008-2009 Federal Parent Loan (PLUS) until six months after the date the student ceases to be enrolled at least half time. Accruing interest could either be paid by the parent borrower monthly or be capitalized quarterly.
Due to recent media coverage, we know that families may be wondering if the "student loan crisis" will affect DePaul's ability to provide loans to students. We assure you that students at DePaul will continue to have access to federally guaranteed student loan programs for the foreseeable future. Please visit our Obtaining Loans web page for further information.
