Illinois college students will march for MAP Grants in Springfield

Illinois college students will march for higher education funding and MAP grants in Springfield on April 13.

At least 60 students plan to take part in the march. That’s according to the march’s Facebook event.

The “March for MAP” was created by a University of Illinois Springfield student. The event was inspired by the legislature's failure to override Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto to a bill to fund MAP grants.

The story was reported by Northern Public Radio on April 8, 2016.
