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.
