Like scholarships, grants are gift assistance which means they do not have to be repaid. You will automatically be considered for many federal, state, and University grants when you submit your FAFSA.
Financial need based on your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) determines if you’re eligible for most grants, but many others are available for students with special interests or majors in high demand, members of the Illinois National Guard, military veterans, underrepresented students, and more.
Please note, the maximum annual awards listed may vary from year to year depending on program funding.
