Are there forms of financial assistance that I am required to apply for or access before DVR will assist with the cost of attendance at my institution of higher education?

(b) Use all available need-based gift aid toward your cost of attendance.
(2) DVR does not require you to:
(a) Apply for academic awards and scholarships based on merit as comparable benefits; or
(b) Accept any available student loans.
