Deadline to Apply For MAP Grant Set For Today

Announcement earlier this week, set the deadline for applications.

Parents, Sunday is the last day college students can apply for MAP grants for the 2011-12 school year. So, if your child is in need of financial aid and has not yet applied for the grant, the clock is ticking.

The deadline for applications for the 2011-2012 Monetary Award Program (MAP) grant is Sunday at 11:59 p.m., the Illinois Student Assistant Commission announced Thursday.

Though the MAP grant deadline is Sunday, students can continue to fill out their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) later.

The March 21 suspension date, which is the earliest in MAP history, is the result of an unprecedented number of early applicants, according to a news release from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission.
