 “In this 60th year of the Illinois State Scholar
Program, we are proud to announce another class of outstanding
students that will lead us into the future,” said Eric Zarnikow,
executive director of ISAC. “We congratulate these Scholars on their
hard work and accomplishments. Congratulations also and thank you to
the families, principals, teachers, counselors, coaches, mentors,
and all of the other individuals who not only help our students find
the path that will allow them to flourish, but also support them
every step of the way.”
While this prestigious designation does not include a monetary
award, Illinois State Scholars will receive a congratulatory letter
from ISAC and a personalized Certificate of Achievement. Honorees
can also download a digital Illinois State Scholar badge that can be
displayed on their online profiles and social media platforms, and
shared with high school counselors, prospective colleges, employers,
family members and others. A complete list of the 2019-20 Illinois
State Scholars can be found on ISAC’s website. Note that the Program
announces honorees based on the year they would begin any
postsecondary education, not based on the year they graduate from
high school.

ISAC encourages all students, including State Scholars, to
complete their 2019-20 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) as soon
as possible. The FAFSA is used to determine a student’s eligibility for federal
and most state and institutional financial aid available for any type of
postsecondary education, including vocational education, certificates, and two
or four year degree programs.
Students and families can get assistance with the financial aid and
college-going process by attending a free workshop or presentation by ISAC or
one of its partners, or by contacting their local ISACorps member, one of a
group of recent college graduates trained to serve as near-peer mentors to
assist students and families with college access and financial aid. See
studentportal.isac. org/ISACorps. Students can also visit the ISAC Student
Portal , studentportal.isac.org, for college planning, financial aid and
financial literacy information and free tools, and can get answers to their
college-going and financial aid questions sent directly to their phones by
signing up for ISAC College Q&A, isac.org/collegeqa, ISAC’s free text messaging
service. ISAC also offers assistance through the agency’s call center,
1-800-899-4722 (ISAC).
