- While students without a social security number do not meet eligibility for Federal Financial Assistance, students can apply for the Illinois MAP grant courtesy of the Retention of Illinois Students & Equity (RISE) Act and Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid: The RISE Act was signed into law on June 21, 2019. The RISE Act allows access to state financial aid to previously inelegible students. You must meet eligibility requirements. For additional information, including a link to the Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid, please visit: ISAC Resources for Non-US Citizens MAP Eligibility (RISE Act).
