Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Higher Education Student Assistance Act. Provides that the Post-Master of Social Work School Social Work Professional Educator License scholarships may also be known as School Social Work scholarships. Includes, as a qualified applicant subject to meeting the other requirements, (i) a person who is pursuing a clinical social work license or social work license and (ii) a person who will obtain a master's degree in social work from an approved program before enrolling the academic program that the scholarship would support. Allows scholarships to be applied to the payment of tuition and mandatory fees at a private, not-for-profit institution of higher education in the State that prepares students to obtain an Illinois Professional Educator License with an endorsement in School Social Work. Provides that a scholarship for a recipient attending a private, not-for-profit institution shall not exceed the maximum grant payable to a student enrolled in the most expensive comparable program of study at a public university in the State. Effective July 1, 2026.
Fiscal Note (Illinois Student Assistance Commission)
The additional flexibility provided by HB 5460 could lead to more interest in the program, resulting in more students applying for the existing 250 slots and receiving scholarships, but the bill does not increase the number of scholarships available, does not increase the maximum award, and is not expected to require additional appropriations to implement.
