IVCC awards over $1 million to 1,775 students

 

OGLESBY – Illinois Valley Community College has awarded over $1 million to 1,775 students. They distributed over $1 million last week to more than 1,700 students who persisted in spring classes. Financial Aid director Eric Johnson said his office transmitted $1,039,644 from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund to 1,775 students. To receive a “Spring Retention” payment, students had to remain enrolled until April 7. Those in 12 or more credit hours received $1,000; those in 6 to 11 hours $500. High school students in IVCC’s dual enrollment program will also receive checks.
“We rewarded students who persisted in their IVCC education,” said IVCC President Jerry Corcoran. “These payments can help students with their summer and fall tuition.”
