Congratulations to the seniors who have been recognized and selected by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission as Illinois State Scholars! The Illinois State Scholar Program identifies those high school seniors who possess superior academic potential. Students are named State Scholars on the basis of their ACT or SAT scores and GPA or class rank at the end of their junior year. Each student named a State Scholar receives a Certificate of Merit from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission. Besides receiving statewide recognition from the various news media in the state, the names of the State Scholars are given by the Commission to the colleges and universities in Illinois. The distinct honor of being named a State Scholar is further highlighted by the fact that many colleges and universities actively seek the State Scholar for admission. Please join me in congratulating the following seniors:
Richard A, Sydney B, Avery C, Chloe H, Lukas N, Shiv P, Fiona P, Michal R, Cecilia R, Alexander S, James S, Ryan S, Brandon S, Piper W, and Angela W
