Graduate student attends School in Missouri having Illinois driver license and wants to keep Illinois residency

Hi! I am a graduate student earning a scholarship in Missouri’s university. The Missouri’s university only issued me 1098T where the scholarship is reported. I used the part of scholarship to pay rooms and boarding. I have my Illinois driver license and want to keep my Illinois residency. Is this possible? For filing tax purpose, which state should I file as resident? Or I have to file as resident for both of states? How should I file? Am I able to remain a IL resident and file taxes in MO as resident or non resident?
