It seems likely the IL state aid will also end up being withdrawn.

“It looks like theft from taxpayers and theft from students and families who legitimately deserve need-based financial aid,” said state Sen. Pat McGuire, a Will County Democrat who chairs the Senate higher education committee.

McGuire said he plans to contact Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s office, the Illinois attorney general’s office and the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, which administers the MAP grant, to look for ways to close any loopholes.

If that doesn’t work, he said, he will consider filing new legislation.

At that point families are only getting 6k Pell under increasing scrutiny from the Feds if they continue to self-report. Hardly worth the risk.
