$10 million of Will County’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding will be used to “prime the pipeline” for teacher candidates and nursing students who live in Will County and expect to work at a Will County education or healthcare institution, respectively, after graduation. This opportunity is called the Will County Heroes Nursing & Teaching Scholarship.
Will County has awarded four higher education partners – Governors State University, University of St. Francis, Lewis University, and Joliet Junior College – funds to generate a pathway for enrollment, education, and employment. Each institution received $2,500,000. This Monetary Award Program – like (MAP) approach – will award participants $2,500 per semester, or $5,000 per academic year, in college tuition and fees as an education and employment incentive for professionals to stay and work in Will County.
Scholarship dollars will be available through fall 2026 or until funding is exhausted. Please note that based on current spending trends, JJC anticipates exhausting all funding by fall 2025.

Dual Credit is a way for high school students to get high school and college credit for courses they take at their high school.
High school students who meet the eligibility criteria for the ARPA Grant will have an opportunity to express interest in receiving funds through a grant sign-up sheet that the Dual Credit Office will send to each dual credit classroom. Once the Dual Credit Office receives the sign-up sheet from the high schools, students will receive a link to complete the online scholarship application using their JJC student email account.
ARPA Grant recipients may receive up to $200 per semester to fund dual credit tuition. Students must apply for the ARPA Grant each semester. Since dual credit students are billed for tuition as soon as they are registered for classes, students who are eligible for the ARPA Grant should apply as soon as possible to avoid receiving billing notices in their JJC email account.
To learn more about financial assistance for Dual Credit, please call 815-280-6927. You may also visit the Dual Credit FAQs webpage to learn more.
Dual Credit students must complete the application below each semester to be considered for ARPA Grant funding.
