Illinois State Scholars
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) has announced the names of this year’s students honored as Illinois State Scholars for 2025-2026. The State Scholar program recognizes Illinois high school students for outstanding academic achievement.
State Scholar selection is based on a combination of the ACT/SAT test scores, the unweighted GPA (end of junior year), and class size. While the program does not provide a monetary award, the designation as a State Scholar can be listed on applications for college admission and scholarships.
