Complete applications will be processed according to the date they are received at the Deerfield office of the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC). Incomplete applications will be returned to the student beneficiary and will not be considered until complete. Please allow at least five (5) business days after the date your application has been submitted before calling ISAC to check on the receipt of your application.
