How College Illinois Works
 

529 PREPAID TUITION PROGRAM - HOW IT WORKS

With a College Illinois! 529 Prepaid Tuition Program, you lock in tuition and fees now, protecting you against future tuition inflation. Then, when your child or grandchild is ready for college, your prepaid account is funded and waiting.

Annual Tuition & Fees Per Academic Year

If your child or grandchild is an Illinois resident and selects an Illinois public university or community college, we pay 100 percent of tuition and mandatory fees for as many 529 prepaid plan semesters as you have pre-purchased — no matter how high tuition and fees might have climbed since your date of purchase.

What about private Illinois colleges and out-of-state colleges? If chosen, College Illinois! 529 Prepaid Tuition Program will pay the mean-weighted average of tuition and fees at comparable public universities or community colleges in Illinois. Each year the mean-weighted average is recalculated, keeping pace with tuition increases.
