Eastern Illinois University Presidernt David Glassman announced  some financial relief was experienced with the state’s recently passed stopgap budget measures.

The approved appropriation for Eastern is $26.2 million. We will also receive the remaining amount of MAP funding ($3.5 million) that Eastern advanced to our students in Spring 2016.

It is our understanding that the funds allocated to higher education are tied to available sources and that Eastern should receive the funds in the near future.
