Scholarship Accessibility Act establishes an Illinois Scholarship Database to improve students' access to higher education scholarships.
The Scholarship Accessibility Act establishes the Illinois Scholarship Database, managed by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission. The Database aims to enhance students' access to higher education scholarships and their understanding of available scholarships. It mandates public schools to inform students starting from 7th grade about the Database and require them to create an account. The account must be jointly created by the student and the parent, with both having access and management capabilities. Students aged 18 and older can maintain their account independently.
