The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) has recently announced its tenth annual College Changes Everything® (CCE) Campaign. The campaign partners with schools and community organizations in Illinois to allow students to explore the option of college after high school.

ISAC works year-round to support students, but the campaign provides free college and financial aid application workshops for high school students. The CCE campaign has led the way for hundreds of thousands of students in Illinois to be able to receive information and help in their efforts to attend institutions of higher education. ISAC advises that most students will have to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for receiving federal, state, and other forms of financial aid; however, ISAC also provides information on the Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid that may offer financial aid to students who may not qualify for federal aid.

The CCE campaign started on Labor Day and will continue until Thanksgiving. For more information, visit ISAC’s website here.
