The state of Illinois is over $4 billion in debt. They have raided the state employees pension fund the last few years to attempt to balance the budget. This year’s budget did not fund the MAP (monetary award program) until a week ago, and the government still does not know how they are going to pay for it. This year’s budget also was only good for 8 months, they have not determined how they will fund the last four months of the fiscal year. The state is in serious financial trouble, they will not be handing out money when students continue to apply and attend UIUC and pay the current costs. I don’t see this changing at all in the future, UIUC has no reason to change the status quo.
