93 seniors make Illinois State Scholars list

From press release

Rockford Public Schools Superintendent Dr. LaVonne Sheffield has announced that 93 seniors from the city’s four traditional public high schools have been named “2010 Illinois State Scholars.”

The prestigious award is given annually by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) based on SAT, ACT and/or Prairie State Achievement Exam scores and class rank at the end of the junior year. In its 51-year history, more than 500,000 high school seniors have received the honor.

“All 93 of these students have worked very hard and have bright futures ahead of them,” Dr. Sheffield said. “The award is a positive reflection not only of the students’ accomplishments, but also the efforts of their teachers and families.”

While no monetary assistance accompanies the designation, winners are encouraged to cite the award on applications for college admission and scholarships.

ISAC is the state’s central provider of college aid. Students and parents can visit www.collegezone.com for information about financial assistance.
