All Degree Levels
The UAGC Liberty Grant is not retroactive. Students who exceed 365 days of consecutive non-attendance will be asked to recertify eligibility for the UAGC Liberty Grant upon return by providing appropriate verification of military service. This program may not be utilized concurrently in the same enrollment period with any other UAGC-sponsored grant, scholarship, or benefit program.
Military Grant Grandfathering
Students who previously received the UAGC Liberty Grant and who subsequently enroll in another degree program after graduating are permitted to continue to receive the grant without recertifying eligibility, unless they have been out of attendance more than 30 days.
Students who were previously enrolled with University of the Rockies and maintain their current program will continue to receive the University of the Rockies rate for the Military Grant; however, students who exceed 30 days of consecutive non-attendance and are not on an approved Academic Leave will be asked to recertify eligibility for the UAGC Liberty Grant upon return by providing appropriate verification of military service. At that point, those students will receive the appropriate grant based on eligibility.
