3 Introduction The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) annually publishes the Handbook of Illinois Postsecondary Institutions for high school, college, and community agency counselors and their college-bound students and families. The Handbook contains up-to-date admission and financial aid information for institutions approved for participation in ISAC's scholarship and grant programs, as well as other federal and institutional programs. The Handbook is designed to provide general admission and financial aid information about Illinois postsecondary institutions. The actual cost of attendance may differ significantly based on a student s course of study, enrollment status and various other factors. The information is subject to change by the institution at any time. The costs listed here which are for the academic year are intended to provide families with a range that can be used to help make enrollment decisions. Please check with the institution in question for student-specific costs. In addition to the Handbook, the Internet is a viable source of financial aid and admission information for students and parents. Most colleges and universities provide a great deal of information about their institutions on the Internet, including admission procedures and deadlines, as well as the types of financial aid offered. ISAC's website - isac.org - provides students and families access to grant and scholarship applications, financial aid and loan repayment calculators, a map of Illinois colleges, and information about planning for and financing college.
