All
Lincoln College students in good academic and social standing will
be accepted to Illinois College.
IIllinois College has been working to develop ways to serve students
affected by the permanent closure of Lincoln College. Located in
Lincoln, Illinois, the institution announced March 29 that it would
close at the end of the semester in May.
IC is working with the Higher Learning Commission to develop a
teach-out partnership for Lincoln College students that will
maximize the credits they can transfer and make the transition
easier so they can graduate on time. Additionally, special
scholarships will be offered to support Lincoln College students.
Evan
Wilson '01, associate vice president of enrollment management, said
Lincoln College students will have access to one-on-one counseling
to customize a plan for finishing their degree at IC.

“We know that this is an important time for Lincoln College
students as they consider where to continue their academic career and we want
students to feel welcome at IC,” Wilson said. “We will ensure Lincoln students
who choose IC will have a smooth transfer process so they can continue their
education uninterrupted and go on to do the amazing things they plan to do after
graduation.”
Illinois College scholarships are renewable annually and eligibility for state
and federal aid will be based on filing their FAFSA each year.
