Support for Illinois nursing education
February 11, 2026
I have recently filed several bills to support nursing education in Illinois.
House Bill 4633 amends the Nursing Education Scholarship Law to make additional nursing education scholarships available from the Department of Public Health, beginning with the 2026-2027 academic year.
House Bill 4632 appropriates $500,000 to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) to fund the Nurse Educator Loan Repayment Program, a program intended to pay eligible loans as an incentive to nurse educators to maintain their teaching careers within the state of Illinois.
House Bill 4635 appropriates $1 million to the Department of Public Health to fund nursing education scholarships.
These appropriation bills can be enacted separately, but they can also be included in the overall state budget bill which we will see at the end of May.
