and students who would otherwise be graduating in a semester or two
are stuck in financial limbo. Assistant Dean of Students
Angela Prazza estimates that $250 to $500 can determine whether
these students graduate on time. To ensure that...

Did you get a scholarship or grant this past year? Did you receive
a refund deposited to your bank account after all tuition and fees
were paid? If you answered yes to both of those questions, then you

because this is good knowledge to have about taxes, scholarships
and grants, and reporting it to the IRS. I did not find out I had
to pay taxes on scholarships and grants until after April
15 last year. I had to pay a late penalty...

your life and turned you into a highly skilled young professional.

With my final year at UIC fast approaching (final because I’m
planning to graduate a year early), I decided to stop and take a
