The Illinois Commitment: For Illinois College Bound Students, Fall 2019

By Sharon Rose


      FREE TUITION - College bound students and their parents are always seeking scholarships and other various means of financing a college education.  A college education has become more expensive each year.  So, here is important and welcome information for students and their parents who reside in the state of Illinois.  A new program called, Illinois Commitment, was recently introduced by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  The university will offer FREE TUITION  to qualifying students.  Students whose combined household income is $61,000 or less can qualify for free tuition starting fall, 2019.  The university’s website states, a student qualifies for free tuition if they meet the following criteria:

1. They are an Illinois resident (parents listed on FAFSA must also be residents)
2. Their family income is $61,000 or less
3. Their family’s assets are less than $50,000
4. They are admitted as a new freshman or transfer student
5. They are under the age of 24


      This is a great opportunity that will create a brighter future for the students of Illinois.
