RIVERMONT SENIOR RANKS TOP IN ILLINOIS
Rivermont Collegiate is ecstatic to announce senior Darsani Reddy has been named a 2013-14 Illinois State Scholar by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC). Darsani is the daughter of Dr. Bouyella and Mrs. Kamala Reddy of Moline, IL. The State Scholar Program recognizes students for outstanding academic achievement. Approximately the top ten percent of graduates from approved high schools are recognized as State Scholars each year.
A list of State Scholars in the Quad Cities and surrounding areas is attached.
About the Illinois State Scholar Program
To be eligible, a student must be a resident of Illinois and perform in the top one-half of their class (at the end of their junior year) and/or score in the 95th percentile on the ACT, SAT, or Prairie State Achievement Exam. Once all students who meet these criteria are identified, a formula based on standardized test scores and performance-based academic data is used to select State Scholars. While the prestigious recognition does not include a monetary award, recipients are encouraged to cite the award on college admission applications.
