More than 200 U-46 Seniors Named Illinois State Scholars

March 23, 2023

In recognition of their academic performance, more than 200 seniors at School District U-46’s five comprehensive high schools received the designation of Illinois State Scholars. The award reflects approximately the top 10 percent of academic achievers among the Class of 2023 in Illinois.

A total of 214 students at Elgin, Bartlett, Larkin, South Elgin, and Streamwood high schools recently received notification of the honor from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, the state program that administers the scholar program and works to make college more affordable through financial aid planning. 

“We are extremely proud of our students for demonstrating dedication and discipline in achieving academic excellence,” said Lela Majstorovic, Assistant Superintendent of Schools. “We also recognize our teachers, counselors, mentors, and family members who supported our students as they worked to meet their goals.” 

The U-46 honorees were among approximately 16,700 students from across the state who earned the designation, which was first introduced in 1958. The scholars are selected based on a formula that includes a combination of ACT/SAT test scores, class rank (if the school ranks) or the unweighted GPA (if the school does not rank), and class size. 

The Illinois State Scholar designation is a non-monetary award. State Scholars receive a congratulatory letter and a certificate of achievement. They also receive a digital “badge” noting their award that can be displayed on social media platforms or shared through online profiles with friends and family as well as prospective colleges or employers.
