Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

Subject to a separate appropriation for this purpose and sufficient revenue from the sale of student loan assets, transaction processing, or refinancing, an applicant is eligible for a Monetary Award Program Plus grant under this Section if the Commission finds that the applicant meets all of the following qualifications: (1) He or she is a resident of this State and a |
| citizen or permanent resident of the United States.

|
(2) He or she is enrolled at least half-time as a
|
| sophomore, junior, or senior at a MAP-eligible institution, as defined under the Monetary Award Program.

(3) He or she will not receive in the same academic
|
| year a Monetary Award Program grant under Section 35 of this Act.
|
|

(b) All grants under this Section are applicable only to tuition and mandatory fee costs. The Commission shall determine the grant amount for each student, which amount must not exceed $500 per year or $250 per semester and must not exceed tuition and mandatory fees net of State and federal financial aid.
(c) Grants under this Section may be awarded only for the Fall 2006 and Spring 2007 semesters.
(d) The Commission shall pay Monetary Award Program Plus grant awards to eligible students by application date, on a first-come, first-served basis.
(e) The Commission, in determining the number of Monetary Award Program Plus grants to be awarded, shall utilize whatever appropriate data is available and shall notify applicants that grant assistance is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds.
(f) The Commission shall determine if sufficient funds are available from the sale of student loan assets, transaction processing, or refinancing to continue Monetary Award Program Plus beyond the Spring 2007 semester and shall prepare a report for the Governor and General Assembly indicating whether funding is available and how it can be used to support the program.
