Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

(110 ILCS 975/7) (from Ch. 144, par. 2757)

Sec. 7. Amount of scholarships.

To determine a scholarship
amount, the Department shall consider tuition and fee charges at
community colleges and universities statewide and projected living
expenses. 75% of the weighted tuition and fees charged by
community colleges in Illinois shall be added to the uniform living
allowance reported in the weighted Monetary Award Program (MAP)
budget to determine the full-time scholarship amount for students
pursuing an associate degree or diploma in nursing at an Illinois
community college.  Scholarship amounts for students pursuing
associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degrees in nursing at a college or university shall
include 75% of the
weighted tuition and fees charged by public universities in Illinois plus
the uniform living allowance reported in the weighted MAP budget.
Scholarship amounts for students in practical nursing programs shall
include 75% of the average of tuition charges at all practical nursing
programs plus the uniform living allowance reported in the weighted MAP
budget.  The
Department may provide that scholarships shall be on a quarterly or
semi-annual basis and shall be contingent upon the student's diligently
pursuing nursing studies and being a student in good
standing.  Scholarship awards may be provided to part-time students; the
amount shall be determined by applying the proportion represented by the
part-time enrollment to full-time enrollment ratio to the average per-term
scholarship amount for a student in the same nursing degree category.
