If you have a student who might be eligible for a MAP grant next year, you’re about out of time to get your financial aid application in.
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission — the state agency that administers the Monetary Award Program — has announced that the deadline for applications for MAP will be Wednesday at 11:59 p.m.
The cut-off date varies according to expected funding and numbers of applications. Families only need to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as the FAFSA. There’s no separate application necessary to be considered for a MAP grant.
