Establishes the Illinois Scholarship Database to improve students' access to higher education scholarships.
The Scholarship Accessibility Act creates 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 opportunities. It requires public schools to inform students starting in 7th grade about the database and mandate account creation. Students and parents jointly create accounts, with both having access and management capabilities. Students aged 18 and older can create accounts independently.
