Beginning with the 2006-07 academic year, the Gift Assistance Budget Packet allows schools participating in the Illinois Veteran Grant (IVG) and Illinois National Guard (ING) Grant Programs and the Monetary Award Program (MAP) to enter their budget information on one form. Schools that participate only in MAP will complete the 2006-07 Monetary Award Program Budget Packet.
Only one budget packet must be completed. Schools that participate in the military programs (IVG and ING) and MAP, click here to access the Gift Assistance Budget Packet.
For your convenience, the MAP Budget Packet, (to be used by schools that do not participate in the Military programs) is provided here in two different formats:
 as a Microsoft Word 2000 document, and
 as an Adobe Portable Document Format (pdf) file
Using the Word Document
The Microsoft Word document can be saved to your computer so that you can complete it electronically using Microsoft Word. (It can also be saved in other popular word-processing programs, including all versions of WordPerfect.) The completed document can then be returned to ISAC as an e-mail attachment from the Financial Aid Directors, by fax or by mail.
If you are using an older version of Microsoft Word, you may not be able to open or save the Word document and will need to use the Adobe pdf file. Also keep in mind that printer settings vary among computers and could cause the document to appear and print differently from one computer to the next.
Using the PDF File
Information cannot be added to the Adobe pdf file electronically; instead, it must be printed and completed by hand, and then returned to ISAC via fax or mail. The Adobe pdf file can be saved to your computer for future use or reference. Another option to consider when using the Adobe pdf file is to complete the document, scan the completed pages and return it as an e-mail attachment.
Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to access the pdf files. If you have trouble opening the file, you may need to download a newer version of the software. Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free and freely distributable software that can be downloaded or upgraded through Acrobat’s Web site.
