BoardIllinois Student Assistance Commission Strategic Plan 2025
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) is committed to making postsecondary education accessible and affordable for Illinois students. Its strategic direction is centered on a 'Big Goal' to increase the proportion of Illinois adults with a postsecondary credential to 60% by 2025, with a specific focus on increasing the postsecondary completion rate of low-income students to at least 45%. The plan outlines key approaches including improving the high school to college transition, providing support to students in college or returning to college, helping families pay for college through various programs, building external support for the goal, and providing high-quality, informed research to support decision-making.
