Any student who transfers from an eligible Art Institutes location currently in teach out to an Art Institutes location currently enrolling students (with the exception of The Art Institute of Vancouver), or to The Art Institute of Pittsburgh - Online Division, will be eligible to receive either one (1) or two (2) one-time grants of $5,000 per the terms established below.
