ISSC hike ·in awards probable by Douglas Backstrom Eastern students receiving Illinois State Scholarship Commission funds for the 1983-84 school year may see an increase in their awards because of a revision in the ISSC award formula. John Flynn, Eastern's associate director of financial aids, said the ISSC award formula for 1983-84 was revised after the Illinois General Assembly in July approved a $9.5 million fiscal year 1984 budget for the ISSC. Annually, the ISSC asks for an in­ crease in their budgets to compensate for rising tuition and fees, he added. Awards for the 1983-84 school year were based on the ISSC's FY 1983 budget rather than the FY 1984, Flynn said. Students, who receive an increase in their ISSC award, will receive a refund for the additional funds in Oc.tober, he said. · "Most dependent students' full-time and partial awards will increase by tern students who are .enrolled if) a scuba diving little air after a long, muscle-working day in the pool.
