ICCP Announces Eighteen Students Named 2018-2019 Illinois State Scholars

Tuesday, December 12th, 2017 | Posted in: School News

IC Catholic Prep Principal, Pamela Levar, is pleased to announce that 18 students have been recognized as 2018-2019 Illinois State Scholars.  This prestigious award is given annually by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC). This year’s Illinois State Scholars rank in approximately the top ten percent of high school seniors from 737 high schools across the state. Honorees are chosen based on a combination of exemplary ACT or SAT test scores and sixth semester class rank.

The 2018-2019 Illinois State Scholars from IC Catholic Prep are:

  • Quinn Bigane (Elmhurst)
  • Victor Cadaoas (Elmhurst)
  • Vincenzo Cerasuolo (Westchester)
  • Joshua De La Cruz (Wood Dale)
  • Jacob DeWitte (Elmhurst)
  • Jack Fowler (Elmhurst)
  • Anna Gendusa (Carol Stream)
  • Michael Hoffman (Elmhurst)
  • Peter Jordan (Northlake)
  • Claire Kennedy (Elmhurst)
  • Daniel McCann (Elmhurst)
  • Timothy McCann (Elmhurst)
  • Alexander Meurer (Elmhurst)
  • Charles O’Brien (Elmhurst)
  • Dylan Packer (Elmhurst)
  • Luke Ricobene (Elmhurst)
  • John Schreiber (Elmhurst)
  • Alec Vasquez (Elmhurst)

“It is such a great honor to be named an Illinois State Scholar”, said ICCP Principal Pamela Levar. “These eighteen students are very deserving and have continually shown their commitment to academic excellence”.

High school guidance counselors work in conjunction with ISAC to determine the winners. While State Scholar recognition does not include a monetary prize, students receive congratulatory letters from ISAC as well as personalized Certificates of Achievement. This year, State Scholars can also receive a digital Illinois State Scholar badge, which can be displayed on their online profiles and social media accounts, and shared with high school counselors, prospective colleges, employers, family members and others.

Originally formed as the Illinois State Scholarship Commission in 1957, the Illinois Student Assistance Commission provides students of all ages and backgrounds with the resources and support to obtain financial aid for higher education. A state agency, ISAC has paved the path to post-secondary education with innovative programs for over 50 years.  More than half a million Illinois State Scholars have been recognized by ISAC since the program’s inception.

“On behalf of ISAC, I congratulate all of this year’s State Scholars for their exceptional work and wish them much success in their future endeavors,” said Eric Zarnikow, ISAC executive director. “Thank you also to the teachers, parents, coaches, and other mentors who support our students, inspire them, and help them navigate a path to college. You make a tremendous difference not only in our students’ lives, but in improving economic prosperity and building a bright future for our state.
