St. Sen. Sue Rezin says Illinois needs to work harder to keep high school students from going to college in other states. The Morris Republican says when students leave, they start to build lives in those other places and are less likely to come back.

 

 

 

A bill that Rezin sponsored would provide four-year MAP—Monetary Award Program—grants so students have certainty from year to year.  It also provides money for college scholarships and other funding to try to keep universities from raising tuition.
