Ill. Admin. Code tit. 23, § 2772.440 - Terms of the Scholarship
a)
Scholarships shall provide the costs of tuition and all nonrevenue bond fees
for courses which will enable the applicant to be certified to teach in the
area of the identified teacher shortage.
b) Scholarship recipients continue to be
eligible for scholarship awards subject only to successfully passing each
course until the program of preparation is completed. Failure to submit an
official transcript or grade report showing successful completion of courses
taken under a previous grant shall be sufficient cause to deny an additional
scholarship award.

awards shall be given for full-time or part-time study, shall be valid for one
semester, and shall be renewable.

program of study qualifying the scholarship recipient to teach in an identified
area of teacher shortage, the scholarship recipient shall submit written
notification to the State Board of Education stating whether the recipient has
accepted employment to teach in an area of teacher shortage in Illinois. Any
recipient who fails to submit this notice shall refund all scholarship monies
granted. The State Board of Education shall assist recipients in finding
employment in areas of identified staff shortages.
e) A recipient who fails to complete a course
of training under this scholarship will be responsible for repayment of all the
monies received under the scholarship awards.
f) A recipient who drops a course or courses
approved for a scholarship award, where an award has been paid to an
institution, shall be required to reimburse the state the balance of any
scholarship funds not refunded the State Board of Education by the
institution.
g) Interruption of the
program - individuals who find it necessary to interrupt their preparation must
submit written notice to the State Board of Education each term that they are
not enrolled in courses.
