Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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.

Sec. 10-30. Displaced Energy Worker Dependent Transition Scholarship.
(a) Subject to appropriation, the benefits of this Section
shall be administered by and paid for out of funds made
available to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission.
(b) Any natural child, legally adopted child, or
stepchild of an eligible displaced energy worker who

of full-time enrollment, including summer terms, to the
State-supported Illinois institution of higher learning of his

of courses per semester, or 12 or more quarter hours of courses

so carried bears to full-time enrollment.

a child without regard to his or her age. The holder of a
Scholarship awarded under this Section shall be subject to all
examinations and academic standards, including the maintenance
of minimum grade levels, that are applicable generally to

learning where the scholarship is being used.

including summer terms, at the University of Illinois. The
Commission shall determine the grant amount for each student.
