Serving in the Illinois National Guard pays your tuition and certain fees, covering registration, graduation, general activity, matriculation and term fees, for undergraduate or graduate study at an Illinois public two-year or four-year college. With less than 10 years of Guard service you can use the grant for up to the equivalent of four academic years of full-time enrollment; with 10 years or more it goes up to the equivalent of six academic years.
