This program-the CVO Program-provides tuition and fee assistance at public colleges for eligible children of disabled Indiana veterans, eligible children and spouses of certain members of the Indiana National Guard killed while serving on state active duty, and eligible children and spouses of certain Indiana public safety officers killed in the line of duty. As a supplement to other state financial aid, the grant pays 100% of tuition and program related mandatory fees; it does not cover other fees such as room and board.
Students who might be covered under the veterans' portion of the program are:
* Certain graduates of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Children's Home
* Children of Purple Heart recipient or wounded veteran
* Children of deceased or disabled veteran
* Children of POW/MIA from Vietnam War
Some program restrictions apply and financial assistance may be limited to a maximum number of credit hours. The veteran must meet, or have met, certain Indiana residency requirements, and the child must be the biological child or legally adopted dependent child of the veteran. Other restrictions might apply. An application is required. It can be obtained from the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA).
