伊利诺斯州学生保留率 & 权益法

伊利诺斯州学生的保留 & 股权(上升)法, 将于2020年1月生效, means that if you are an Illinois resident but ineligible for federal financial aid, (i.e. undocumented or transgender), you may still apply for state assistance. For complete details about the RISE Act, check out the Illinois 学生 Assistance Commission (ISAC).

If you are an undocumented or transgender student, the act allows you to apply for institutional aid and MAP grants with the Alternative Application for Illinois Financial 援助, instead of the Free Application for Federal 学生 援助 (FAFSA). You must meet the eligibility requirements below:

申请过程

To accommodate 伊利诺斯州学生保留率 & 股权(上升)法-eligible students (both undocumented and transgender students), the Illinois 学生 Assistance Commission (ISAC) has created an Illinois-specific online application for MAP grants. Instead of completing the FAFSA to begin the map application process, these students may choose to complete the Alternative Application for Illinois Financial 援助. The data from the application will be used to calculate an Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is used in determining a student's MAP eligibility. Alternative Application for Illinois Financial 援助 found 在这里.
