LANARK — The Illinois Student Assistance Commission has announced the names of the 2016-17 Illinois State Scholars. This year’s honorees join the ranks of other outstanding Illinois high school students who have received the prestigious accolade since it was first introduced in 1958. Nearly 19,000 high school students recognized for outstanding academic achievement, including 30 local academics. “It is always an honor to announce another extraordinary group of State Scholars,” said Eric Zarnikow, ISAC executive director. “At a time when postsecondary education could not be more important to future job and career success, these students have demonstrated the kind of effort and dedication that will help them advance not only their futures, but the future of the state as well.” Zarnikow said Illinois State Scholars possess strong academic potential and are chosen based on a combination of exemplary ACT or SAT test scores and sixth semester class rank. State Scholars rank in approximately the top ten percent of high school seniors, representing 652 high schools across the state. “In addition to congratulating our State Scholars, we would also like to recognize their parents, teachers, coaches and mentors for helping these students to achieve their goals—both personal and educational,” said Zarnikow. “Your constant support, encouragement and wisdom remain vital in helping students transition from high school and make well-informed postsecondary educational choices.” Visit the ISAC website and in particular the new ISAC Student Portal at isac.org/ studentportal for more information.
