The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) would like to make you aware of the following information, which may be of interest to you and/or your college-bound students and their families.
Now through September 12th: Sixth-Semester Data for 2009-10 HSSP Cycle Being Accepted
As was announced in an April 15th e-Message, ISAC is currently accepting school-generated sixth semester rosters from high schools. This data, which is used to determine eligibility for State Scholar, Merit Recognition Scholarship (MRS), and Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship programs [collectively referred to as the High School Scholarship Programs (HSSP)] for students who will be college freshmen during the 2009-10 academic year, must be submitted to ISAC on or before September 12, 2008, in order to prevent ISAC from generating a roster at a later date.
Visit the High School Scholarship Programs (HSSP) section of the ISAC Gift Assistance Programs area for future updates.
June 27th: Next Commission Meeting
The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Illinois Student Assistance Commission will take place on Friday, June 27, 2008, at Carl Sandburg College in Galesburg.
A listing of tentative agenda items will be available prior to the meeting via the ISAC's Governing Board: The Commission section of the e-Library. Dates and locations for all meetings scheduled in 2008 are available at the e-Library's Commission Meeting Schedule page. Agenda and meeting schedule information can also be accessed by selecting the link that appears beneath the "Resource Center" heading at the College Zone home page.
July 15th: 2008-09 Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Eligibility Certification Forms Due
Remind your graduating Byrd Scholars that they must return the Eligibility Certification document to ISAC on or before July 15, 2008, so that their colleges will be able to request payment on their behalf for the fall term. Further details are provided at the Award Determination and Notification for the Byrd Scholarship page.
