IL SB2127

Requires scholarship recipients for dual credit teaching to teach at least one dual credit course per school year in an Illinois secondary school for a minimum of 5 years after completing their program

Recipients who fail to meet the 5-year teaching requirement must refund all scholarship money to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, unless the failure results from financial conditions within school districts
