State Scholar Program Overview

The State Scholar Program publicly and personally identifies graduating high school seniors who possess superior academic potential. Each student designated as a State Scholar receives a Certificate of Achievement and statewide recognition in the news media. No financial assistance is awarded by ISAC through this program.

ISAC provides listings of names of State Scholars to Illinois colleges and universities that actively seek State Scholars for admission. Mailing labels of State Scholars' names are available from ISAC, at cost, to Illinois colleges, universities and associations of Illinois colleges. Requestors of labels shall provide written assurance to ISAC that the labels will not be resold or released to others in any manner. After the deadline to appeal a student's status passes, order forms will be available for State Scholar finalist listings and/or mailing labels.
