United Congregations of Metro East has partnered with Advance Illinois to host a conversation about higher education funding equity in Illinois. Going to college has become very expensive and even with all of the loan forgiveness offers, going to college is still off the list for a majority of high school graduates and those thinking of going back to school. Come join this conversation to learn how you can advocate for increased investments in scholarships such as MAP and Minority Teacher of Illinois (MTI), as well as other avenues of financial support. Don't miss your opportunity to gain higher education without the burden of expenses.
