Funding For Achieve

In January, House Bill 168, section 65.85 was introduced by Representative Elizabeth Coulson, in which grants through the ISAC (Illinois Student Assistance Commission) would be provided to cover the costs of the Achieve Program. The bill unanimously passed its House committee in February and the Senate committee in May. It was signed into law in July, and its implementation is currently pending budget funding.
