Financial Aid for Fall 2009

It is very important for all students who are planning on attending college for the 2009/2010 academic year apply for financial aid NOW!!!!!

The FAFSA website is http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ .

When you apply for financial aid by filling out the FAFSA, you are applying for ALL of the FEDERAL and STATE grants funds available.

The Illinois Student Assistance Commission has notified the Financial Aid Office at John A. Logan College that due to high application volume, the state of Illinois is at risk of being out of money to fund the ILLINOIS STATE MAP Grant (which is the state grant that pays for tuition) by the end of May. Applications received after the end of May will be at risk of not being funded.

This only applies to the state MAP Grant NOT the federal PELL Grant.

Apply NOW!!!!!!
