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.


110 ILCS 930/8.5

    (110 ILCS 930/8.5)
    Sec. 8.5. Determining and administering awards. In determining the recipients of awards, the Program Board shall favor recipients who received awards in previous years and who maintain conditions of eligibility as set forth in Section 7 and have made satisfactory academic progress toward a degree, as determined by each institution of higher education, as long as no student receives assistance for more than 4 years. In administering awards, the Program Board shall:
        (1) determine the award amount annually;
        (2) direct the Board to deliver the awards to the
    
institution of higher education to disburse to the recipients, conditioned upon the recipients' satisfactory academic progress; and
        (3) attempt to achieve distribution of the awards
    
among qualified institutions of higher education so that the awards are distributed equitably within fields of study.
    A recipient who received an award in a previous year may not be disqualified from receiving a subsequent award if the applicant's qualified institution of higher education no longer meets the Pell Grant criteria described in Section 2, as long as the applicant and the qualified institution of higher education maintain all other conditions of eligibility.
    Grant funds shall be distributed by an institution of higher education to grantees during the period of DFI enrollment, not to exceed 12 months per award.
