Short description: 
U OF I-CHI COMMUNTY SCHOLARSHP                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the University of Illinois Act.   Requires  the  Board  of      
   Trustees of the University of Illinois to award 40 scholarships (for 2      
   years of undergraduate enrollment without payment of tuition and fees)      
   to  persons  who  have  resided  for  a  2 year period preceding their      
   application for a scholarship in the Lower West,  South  Lawndale,  or      
   Near  West  Side  communities  of  Chicago.    Requires  the  Board to      
   promulgate regulations governing the  application  for  and  award  of      
   scholarships  and  for  administration  of  the  scholarship  program.      
   Effective immediately.                                                      
          FISCAL NOTE (U of I)                                                 
          The total cost in the first year would be $170,960 and $341,920      
          in the second year of the program. The cost would also rise in       
          out years as tuition and fees increase.                              
          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE                                           
          In the opinion of DCCA, HB 854 fails to meet the definition of       
          a mandate under the State Mandates Act.
