Greetings!
As a first-generation college student, I understand the hardships of paying for college. In high school, I had assistance from a college prep program called Upward Bound. However, once in college, I was limited with who I felt I could ask for assistance. I did a lot of the research on my own for the most part. However, I hope to now be able to assist students in obtaining the resources necessary to pay for college without having to affect their grades. Please view the following resources. If there are any other resources you would like me to include please email me at RepBarbaraHernandez@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Rep. Barbara Hernandez

Saludos!
Como estudiante de primera generación, entiendo las dificultades para pagar la universidad. En la escuela secundaria tuve la ayuda de un programa de preparación para la universidad llamado Upward Bound, sin embargo, una vez en la universidad, estaba limitada con quien podía preguntar para pedir ayuda. Hice mucha investigación por mi propia cuenta. Sin embargo, ahora espero poder asistir a estudiantes con los recursos necesarios para poder pagar la universidad sin tener que afectar sus calificaciones. Consulte los siguientes recursos. Si hay otros recursos que les gustaría que incluyera por favor envíeme un correo electrónico a RepBarbaraHernandez@gmail.com.

FAFSA/ Solicitud Gratuita de ayuda federal para estudiantes
Inscripción de FAFSA empieza en Octubre 1ro.
La FAFSA o la solicitud gratuita de ayuda federal para estudiantes es un formulario que completan los estudiantes universitarios actuales y futuros en los Estados Unidos para determinar su elegibilidad para recibir ayuda financiera para estudiantes.
Utilice el formulario de solicitud gratuita de ayuda federal para estudiantes (FAFSA) para solicitar ayuda financiera para la universidad o escuela de posgrado. Por favor, aplique aquí.
To accommodate RISE Act-eligible students (both undocumented and transgender students), an online application for MAP grants is available. Instead of completing the FAFSA to begin the MAP application process, these students may be eligible to complete the Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid. The data from the application will be used to calculate an expected family contribution (EFC), which is used in determining a student’s MAP eligibility. The application, patterned after the FAFSA, is accessible for the 2024-2025 academic years through the link below.
The Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid is not currently compatible with mobile devices. Please apply here.

Solicitud Alternativa de Ayuda Financiera de Illinois
La Ley RISE permite a estudiantes calificados indocumentados y estudiantes transgénero que no califican para ayuda financiera por parte del gobierno debido a que no se registró para el Servicio Selectivo, solicitar todas formas de ayuda financiera estatal. La Solicitud Alternativa de Ayuda Financiera de Illinois proporciona un camino para que estos estudiantes calificados soliciten subvenciones del Programa de Concesión Monetaria (MAP). En lugar de llenar la FAFSA para comenzar el proceso de solicitud de MAP, estos estudiantes pueden ser elegibles para llenar la Solicitud Alternativa de Ayuda Financiera de Illinois. Los datos de esta solicitud se utilizarán para calcular el aporte familiar previsto (EFC, por su sigla en inglés), que se utiliza para determinar la elegibilidad de MAP del estudiante. La solicitud, similar a la FAFSA, es accesible para el año académico 2024-25 a través del enlace a continuación.
Actualmente, la Solicitud Alternativa de Ayuda Financiera de Illinois no es compatible con dispositivos móviles. Por favor aplique aquí.
