New Illinois Law Going Into Effect January 1st Will Make Illegal Aliens Eligible for Student Financial Aid | The Gateway Pundit | by Mike LaChance

It grants illegal aliens eligibility for grants, scholarships, stipends, and other state-funded student aid.

• Governor J.B. Pritzker has already signed the law and it goes into effect on January 1st of 2026.

More from MyStateLine:

State data estimates Illinois is home to more than 500,000 migrants without lawful status, with 27,000 already enrolled in a public college or university.

Harmeet Dhillon is probably going to be all over this.

📣 Heads up: starting Jan 1, 2026, Illinois will open state-funded grants, scholarships, stipends, and other student aid to undocumented students.

Translation: your “new neighbors” will soon have access to the perks you thought were yours… because why wouldn’t they, right? pic.twitter.com/zyIzzNY7va
