The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) announces its 10th annual College Changes Everything® (CCE) Campaign, which runs from Labor Day through Thanksgiving. During the campaign, ISAC partners with schools and community organizations to help students and families with exploration of education after high school, and with college and financial aid applications. While ISAC provides these supports year-round, the CCE campaign offers an intensive schedule of free college and financial aid application completion workshops throughout Illinois. ISAC provides:

• College and financial aid application completion workshops. studentportal.isac.org/events 

• One-on-one assistance with college planning and financial aid applications. Contact a local ISACorps™ member, part of ISAC’s statewide team of near-peer mentors trained to support students with the college and financial aid process, studentportal.isac.org/isacorps. Or, set up a virtual meeting with an ISAC expert at www.isac.org/booking. 

• Get answers via text! Ask questions and get answers from an ISAC expert through the ISAC College Q&A free text messaging service. isac.org/collegeqa.

• Support and resources for First Gen students, who will be the first in their family to earn a college degree, through the First Generation Scholars Network. studentportal.isac.org/FirstGen
