529 Plans

College Illinois

College Illinois ! is a state-sponsored prepaid tuition program that helps families fund future college costs with tax benefits granted by Section 529 of the IRS Code. If you are using College Illinois! benefits to assist your expenses (tuition and mandatory fees) at Illinois State University, the billings and payments are processed by the Student Accounts Office. College Illinois! covers tuition and mandatory fees only.

You will need to complete and submit the College Illinois Authorization form online every semester you utilize this program. 

If you have other tuition-specific awards (i.e. ISAC/MAP, dependent tuition waiver, department tuition waiver, etc.), we will bill College Illinois! only for the balance of your tuition and mandatory fees. The account holder of the College Illinois! program has the option to request a scholarship refund or leave the hours on the plan.
