65 Hinsdale South Students Make State Scholars List

Submitted by Hinsdale South High School.

DARIEN, IL – Hinsdale South High School today proudly Wednesday the names of 65 Class of 2017 students who have been recognized as Illinois State Scholars.

The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) is a state agency that bestows this recognition to the top Illinois high school students annually. Illinois State Scholars possess strong academic potential and are chosen based on a combination of exemplary ACT or SAT test scores and sixth semester class rank. State Scholars rank in approximately the top 10 percent of high school seniors, representing 765 high schools across the state.

“I applaud all of the 2017-18 state scholars for their hard work and outstanding academic performance,” said Eric Zarnikow, ISAC executive director. “Students have a lot to contend with as they move through high school—from increased testing to extracurricular activities to highly competitive college admissions. Kudos to these students and also to the teachers, parents, coaches and other mentors who contributed to their success and helped them navigate a path towards college and career success.”

Students are urged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible, if they have not done so already. The 2017-18 FAFSA, which became available on October 1, 2016, determines eligibility for federal and state aid.

ISAC offers free financial aid and college access events to assist students and families with the college-going process. The website and the ISAC Student Portal for college planning, financial aid and financial literacy information and free tools, as well as information on how to contact the ISACorps, a group of recent college graduates who act as near-peer mentors, for one-on-one assistance and mentoring. Go to www.isac.org for more information.
