Subject: Important Announcement about MAP Grants
STUDENTS: FILE YOUR 2014-15 FAFSA IMMEDIATELY, IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY FILED. Please see below for an important announcement from ISAC.
Suspension of MAP Award effective February 28, 2014
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) is suspending the announcement of 2014-15 Monetary Award Program (MAP) grants for all students whose initial 2014-15 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is received by the Central Processing System (CPS) on or after Friday, February 28, 2014.
The February 28 suspension date, which is the earliest in MAP history, is the result of continuing state budget difficulties and an unprecedented number of early applicants.
