Illinois Administrative Code › Title 23 - EDUCATION AND CULTURAL RESOURCES › Part 2770 - STUDENT TO STUDENT (STS) PROGRAM OF MATCHING GRANTS › Section 2770.20 - Applicant Eligibility

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) To be
			 considered for a Student to Student matching grant, a student shall be enrolled
			 at a participating Illinois public university or a participating Illinois
			 public community college as established and defined by the Public Community
			 Colleges Act.
b) A student must
			 demonstrate need by some nationally recognized need analysis system to be
			 eligible for an STS matching grant.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 23 - EDUCATION AND CULTURAL RESOURCES › Part 2770 - STUDENT TO STUDENT (STS) PROGRAM OF MATCHING GRANTS › Section 2770.30 - Program Procedures

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) An
			 eligible program is an organized, need-based monetary award (gift assistance)
			 program for undergraduate students at an Illinois college or public university.
			 The funds for those programs must be derived from voluntary contributions
			 raised by students from students of that college or university according to a
			 plan developed and approved by the students and consistent with college or
			 university policies.
b) Voluntary
			 contributions can be obtained from graduate students; the assistance program,
			 however, can aid only undergraduates. A portion of the total contribution can
			 be used to aid graduate students. Funds set aside for graduate students will
			 not be matched by ISAC.
c) Students
			 shall approve the plan for raising voluntary contributions by a majority of
			 those voting in a campus-wide referendum.
d) The contributions, to be eligible for
			 matching funds, must be voluntary and optional (as contrasted to a
			 nonrefundable fee or charge). Only those voluntary contributions made by
			 enrolled students of the college or university are eligible for matching. If
			 any fund- raising activity yields contributions from other individuals or
			 organizations, the voluntary contributions by enrolled students must be clearly
			 identifiable.
e) Particular care
			 must be employed in implementing contribution plans that generate contributions
			 from nonstudents. The law leaves no latitude in this regard. Special cash
			 receipt systems must be used to make certain that student contributions are
			 clearly identifiable.
f) No
			 eligible contribution can exceed $12 per academic year.
g) The $1,000 annual limit on an STS award
			 shall be applicable to all terms, including the summer term.
h) STS funds can be used for undergraduates
			 who are otherwise eligible for an ISAC Monetary Award Program grant but have
			 completed their eligibility pursuant to 23 Ill. Adm. Code
			 2735.30(m).

			 initial claim shall include:
1) the amount of
			 the claim;
2) how general student
			 approval was obtained;
3) how funds
			 were collected;
4) the steps
			 employed to ensure that student contributions were voluntary; and
