Are You Eligible?

Eligibility for the Teachers of Illinois Scholarship is based on specific criteria established by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC). One key eligibility factor is whether you attended an eligible Illinois public school district at any point during kindergarten through grade 12.

You may also qualify if you are currently teaching, or willing to teach, in an eligible underserved Illinois school district.

If you believe you may qualify, complete the brief eligibility questionnaire form above. Our team will review your information and assist you through the scholarship application process, including completing the required steps for the 2026–2027 Teachers of Illinois Scholarship application.
