Returning Student Relief Grant

The Returning Student Relief Grant was developed to encourage withdrawn students who meet eligibility requirements to re-enroll in Purdue University Global (formerly Kaplan University) and complete a program of study. The Grant clears outstanding debt (maximum $4,500) owed directly to Purdue Global for prior enrollment (excluding Title IV student loans or other private funding) after eligible students successfully complete the first term following re-enrollment. Student loans or private funding obtained by the student, whether past or future, are the sole financial responsibility of the student.

To receive the Grant, you must:

• Be a returning online, campus, or learning center* student at Purdue Global;
• Have withdrawn from a prior Purdue Global degree or certificate program with a minimum CGPA of 2.5 (undergraduate students) or 3.0 (graduate students) at the time of withdrawal;
