Financial Aid For Illinois State College Students May Soon Disappear - Mike Parker, CBS Chicago

Illinois has now gone 100 days without a budget and today, another shoe drops. Students at each of the public universities could take a hit, reports CBS 2’s Mike Parker. This year the state of Illinois budgeted $1.9 billion in direct aid to the Illinois university system, including Governor’s State. We’ve learned that unless a budget comes out of Springfield, there may be no more of that money starting January 1 and low income students who rely on financial aid may be out of luck. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/10/07/financial-aid-for-state-college-students-may-soon-disappear/
