ISAC Extends Announcement of 2011-12 MAP Awards: New Suspension Date is March 26
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) has approved a limited extension for the announcement of 2011-12 Monetary Award Program (MAP) awards. As a result, ISAC is suspending the announcement of MAP grants for all students whose initial 2011-12 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is received by the Central Processing System (CPS) on or after Saturday, March 26, 2011. The previously-announced suspension date of March 21 is no longer in effect.
The March 26 suspension date, which is three weeks earlier than the mid-April suspension date that was implemented for 2010-11 processing, is based on a combination of the latest calculation of available program funds and the temporary unavailability of FAFSA on the Web over the past weekend.
