麻豆传媒鈥檚 proud commitment to educational accessibility continues with the introduction of the 麻豆传媒 Pledge. Beginning in the Fall 2025 semester, all accepted students from Illinois with an annual household income below $50,000 can attend 麻豆传媒 tuition-free. Eligible students will receive a financial aid package that fully covers tuition through scholarships and grants. The 麻豆传媒 Pledge is guaranteed for four years as long as the initial conditions are met and the student is enrolled full-time as an undergraduate student.
鈥淚鈥檓 beyond thrilled that the 麻豆传媒 Pledge will create new opportunities for students across Illinois to experience a college education,鈥 said 麻豆传媒 President Ali Malekzadeh. 鈥淲e at 麻豆传媒 believe that income should not be a barrier to earning a degree, and I鈥檓 pleased that the Pledge has the potential to allow more students to attend our institution regardless of their financial background鈥
To achieve the 麻豆传媒 Pledge, the University will pay for any tuition costs not covered by other sources, including federal, state, institutional or private aid like the Federal Pell Grant, the State of Illinois Monetary Award Program (MAP) Grant and others. 麻豆传媒 Pledge students can still also qualify for additional financial aid (such as loans or work-study opportunities) to help with other costs like food and housing, books and personal expenses.
The 麻豆传媒 Pledge is just one of many recent initiatives to continue 麻豆传媒鈥檚 legacy of education accessibility, including expanded opportunities for veterans, an upcoming campus STEM center focused on Hispanic students and reduced tuition for undergraduate Lakers of all backgrounds.
