Summary

Amends the Higher Education Student Assistance Act. In provisions concerning repayment of a Minority Teachers of Illinois scholarship, an ITEACH Teacher Shortage scholarship, or a special education teacher scholarship, provides that that portion of a scholarship recipient's repayment that equals the amount in expenses that the Illinois Student Assistance Commission has reasonably incurred in attempting collection from that recipient shall be deposited into the Commission's Accounts Receivable Fund (now, total amount of repayment is deposited into the General Revenue Fund). Makes changes in who is eligible for special education teacher scholarships. Effective July 1, 2003.
