Apparently many thousands of actual low income kids were turned down for Illinois funds because they ran out.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said he has directed his staff to investigate the practice. The state has a limited pool of money to give low-income students. Last year, more than 80,000 students who were eligible for the Illinois Monetary Award Program, or MAP, grant did not receive it because there wasn’t enough money. The grant, up to $5,000, is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
