NEW FINANCIAL AID REQUIREMENT

Starting with the Class of 2021, ALL graduates in the State of Illinois MUST fill out financial aid.

• FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
• Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid

The FAFSA isn’t just for associate’s or bachelor’s degree programs. Students can receive need-based Pell grants, federal student loans, and other federal student aid for technical, trade, and vocational programs at community colleges and at many other schools and training programs.
