Take action to restore student aid funding
More than 800 students at UIS will lose their Monetary Assistance Program grants for the spring semester. These students are in jeopardy of defaulting on their tuition. Please write your legislator an e-mail today urging passage of an appropriations bill to restore MAP funding. It only takes a few minutes and is very influential. Take action now.
