Three Mount Pulaski High School students
have been named Illinois State Scholars for
2012-13. The honored students are
Alexandra Conley, daughter of John and
Lisa Conley of Mount Pulaski, Mark Foley,
son of Robert and Sharon Foley of Mount
Pulaski, and Carly Powell, daughter
of Deron Powell of Mount Pulaski and Linda
Smith of Elkhart.
Illinois State Scholars are named by the
Illinois Student Assistance Commission, the
state's centralized provider of financial
assistance aimed at helping students and
families access postsecondary education or
training. Each year, the commission awards
scholarship and grant aid to qualified
students, and also provides loans to
qualifying students. The agency also offers
a broad array of outreach and informational
services to ensure that families have access
to the information they need to pay for a
college education.
Illinois State Scholars rank in the top
10 percent of high school seniors across
Illinois. Selection is based on SAT, ACT and
Prairie State Achievement Exam scores, and
class rank at the end of the junior year.
While the designation of Illinois State
Scholar is not a monetary award, students
who are selected are among the top students
academically in each high school in
Illinois.
