13    Section 10. The Higher Education Student Assistance Act is
14amended by changing Section 70 as follows:
 
15    (110 ILCS 947/70)
16    Sec. 70. Administration of scholarship and grant programs.
17    (a) An applicant to whom the Commission has awarded a
18scholarship or grant under this Act may apply for enrollment as
19a student in any qualified institution of higher learning. The
20institution is not required to accept the applicant for
21enrollment, but is free to exact compliance with its own
22admissions requirements, standards, and policies. The
23institution may receive the payments of tuition and other
24necessary fees provided by the scholarship or grant, for credit

1against the student's obligation for such tuition and fees, and
2for no other purpose, and shall be contractually obligated:
3        (1) to provide facilities and instruction to the
4    student on the same terms as to other students generally;
5        (2) to provide the notices and information described in
6    this Act; and to maintain records and documents which
7    demonstrate the eligibility of the students for whom
8    scholarships and grants are claimed.
9    (b) If, in the course of any academic period, any student
10enrolled in any institution pursuant to a scholarship or grant
11awarded under this Act for any reason ceases to be a student in
12good standing, the institution shall promptly give written
13notice to the Commission concerning that change of status and
14the reason therefor. For purposes of this Section, a student
15does not cease to be a student in good standing merely because
16he or she is not classified as a full-time student.
17    (c) A student to whom a renewal scholarship or grant has
18been awarded may either re-enroll in the institution which he
19or she attended during the preceding year, or enroll in any
20other qualified institution of higher learning; and in either
21event, the institution accepting the student for enrollment or
22re-enrollment shall notify the Commission of that acceptance
23and may receive payments and shall be contractually obligated
24as provided with respect to a first-year scholarship or grant.
25    (d) The Commission shall administer the scholarship and
26grant accounts and related records of each student who is

 

 

SB3138 Enrolled- 21 -LRB100 19604 AXK 34876 b

1attending an institution of higher learning under financial
2assistance awarded pursuant to this Act, and at each proper
3time shall certify to the State Comptroller, in the manner
4prescribed by law, the current payment to be made to the
5institution on account of such financial assistance, in
6accordance with an appropriate certificate from the
7institution. The Commission may require the participating
8institution of higher learning to perform specific eligibility
9evaluation procedures as a condition of participation.
10    (e) The Commission shall conduct on-site audits of
11educational institutions participating in Commission
12administered programs. When institutions have claimed and
13received funds on behalf of ineligible recipients, the
14Commission may adjust subsequent institutional payments to
15recover those funds.
16    (f) The Commission may, upon the request of any institution
17which received payment for scholarship and grant awards for
18each of the last 5 years, certify to the Comptroller an advance
19payment for the current term to be made to the institution on
20account of such financial assistance in an amount not to exceed
2175% of announced awards for the institution for such financial
22assistance for the current term, adjusted for attrition over
23the last 5 years. For the purposes of this Section, "attrition"
24is the number of announced award winners enrolled on the 10th
25class day as a percentage of the total announced awards. The
26request for an advance payment for the current term shall not

 

 

SB3138 Enrolled- 22 -LRB100 19604 AXK 34876 b

1be submitted until 10 class days after the last day for
2registration for that term. Upon appropriate certification
3from the institution presented for each payment period, after
4the standard tuition and mandatory fees have been established
5for all students for the term of payment and the award
6recipient has enrolled, the Commission shall certify to the
7State Comptroller the balance of the current payment to be made
8to the institution on account of such financial assistance. If
9an advance payment received by an institution exceeds the
10payment to which that institution is entitled, the Commission
11shall reduce subsequent payments to that institution for later
12terms within the same academic year as the overpayment by an
13amount equal to the overpayment; if the reduction cannot be
14made, the institution shall refund the overpayment to the
15Commission. The Commission may deny or reduce the advance
16payment provided to any institution under this Section if it
17has reason to believe that the advance payment for the current
18term may exceed the full payment the institution is entitled to
19receive for such assistance for that term.
20    (g) The personal identity and address of a scholarship,
21grant, or other financial assistance applicant or recipient
22under a non-discretionary program administered by the
23Commission, including, but not limited to, the Monetary Award
24Program under Section 35 of this Act, where eligibility data is
25obtained from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
26authorized by 20 U.S.C. 1090 or is protected from disclosure

10not accelerate or delay the taking effect of (i) the changes
11made by this Act or (ii) provisions derived from any other
12Public Act.
