Bill	DCFS-SCHOLARSHIPS	Amends the Children and Family Services Act. In a provision requiring the Department of Children and Family Services to award post-secondary education scholarships and fee waivers to eligible students, removes a provision that conditions the renewal of awarded scholarships and fee waivers on students continuing to work toward graduation. Instead provides that while students shall not be required to maintain a specified minimum grade point average to continue to receive scholarships and fee waivers, students must be making satisfactory progress toward completing their degree at a community college, university, or college. Requires the Department to adopt rules identifying the criteria for "satisfactory progress toward completing a degree" (rather than the criteria for "continuing to work toward graduation"). Removes a provision requiring a community college or public university that an applicant attends to waive any tuition and fee amounts that exceed the amounts paid to the applicant under the State's Monetary Award Program. Effective immediately.	us/states/il	Illinois General Assembly	103rd	SB 3138	Illinois SB 3138 (103rd)	bill		enacted	Kam Buckner Sara Feigenholtz	4	32	5	2024-02-06	2024-08-09	openstates	ocd-bill/ee425065-a736-479b-ba90-ae3d97071dc4	https://beta.ilga.gov/Legislation/BillStatus?DocNum=3138&GAID=17&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=152363&SessionID=112	76fd981fff71ed351bf2dc95c71240f674582a8b34984639580b4e89a38e1aa9	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-il
