Federal & State Aid Estimators
Federal Student Aid Estimator
The Federal Student Aid Estimator will estimate your eligibility for federal student aid, including the Pell Grant, work study and student loans. It will also determine your Student Aid Index (SAI), which you will need to complete the Monetary Award Program (MAP) Estimator. If you already know your SAI, you can proceed to the MAP Estimator.
Monetary Award Program (MAP) Estimator
If you plan to attend an Illinois college, use the MAP Estimator to get an idea of your eligibility for the Illinois Monetary Award Program (MAP). You will need to know your Student Aid Index (SAI) to use the Estimator. If you are a dependent student, you will also need to know your adjusted gross income (AGI) for the appropriate tax year, as well as your cash, savings and checking account balances. If you don’t already know your SAI, use the Federal Student Aid Estimator described above.
