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.

(b) Subject to a separate appropriation for such purposes, the Commission
shall make matching grants to each college or university for a program of
student grant assistance. Such grants shall match equally the amount raised by
college or university students for the grant program. Contributions from
individuals who are not then enrolled as college or university students or from
private or eleemosynary groups and associations made directly to the student
fund or through a college or university student shall not be included in the
total amount that the State shall match. If the sum appropriated is
insufficient to match equally the amount raised by students, the amount payable
to each college or university shall be proportionately reduced.
(c) Grant programs under this Section shall be administered by each college
or university, and grants under those programs shall be awarded to
individuals on a need basis as prescribed by the Commission.
(d) No grant to any student from funds raised through voluntary
contributions and matched from the State appropriation under this Section
may exceed $1,000 per year.
(e) Each college or university shall submit to the Commission an annual
report of the activities, operation and results of its grant program under this
Section.
