As explained in a
May 25 e-Message, ISAC staff members anticipate that the 2022-23 Monetary Award Program (MAP) recompute formula – which will be presented to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission for approval at its June 16, 2022 meeting – will utilize 2021-22 tuition and fees. In addition, the 2022-23 budget data collection process will include some new terminology and procedures which have not yet been finalized. Due to these unusual circumstances, ISAC will not require colleges to adhere to the standard June 1 deadline for submission of 2022-23 tuition and fee data. A revised submission deadline date will be announced once the collection of 2022-23 budget data begins (anticipated for early June 2022).
The 2022-23
application for the
Grant Programs for Dependents of Police, Fire or Correctional Officers is now available. To receive full-year consideration, 2022-23 applications must be received on or before October 1, 2022.

In observance of the Memorial Day holiday, ISAC offices will be closed on Monday, May 30, reopening on Tuesday, May 31. Access the Financial Aid Administrators area at
