<p>I am a college student in Illinois who qualifies for il map grant and have always qualified for the aid. I have already taken 60 credit hours in which I was paid by map grants. Those are the 60 hours I have taken in a college. I also had a previous 34 hours that I earned via placing out of classes due to a combination of ap credits, a course taken at a community college, and placing out of classes. These credits were not funded by the il map grant. </p>
<p>What confuses and worries me is that the max amount of hours you can get map grant funding for is 135 hours. Even if I decide to graduate in 4 years, I will exceed that. Do my credit hours that were not earned in a semester where I was getting grant funding factor in? Or does the state of Illinois keep a tab only of the amount of hours you have completed in the map grant funded semesters? </p>
