Issues: Finance and Banking Higher Education
Monetary Assistance Programs are government grants given to High School students who have the ability and aptitude to go to college but lack the full finances to do so.
Currently 1,800 students receive MAP Grants in the 28th District. Senator Murphy will continue to support MAP Grants despite efforts to defund them totally out of our budget.
"Our educated workforce attracts both small and large businesses to Illinois. Giving our most vulnerable students a leg up and attracting companies to Illinois should be a bipartisan necessity." -Senator Laura Murphy
