MACOMB, IL – Brimfield Community High School Senior Luke Golemon, of Brimfield, IL, has been selected for Western Illinois University's Centennial Honors Scholarship, which covers four years of tuition, fees and a residence hall room at the school.

High school students with an ACT score of 32 or higher and a grade point average of 3.5 or higher are eligible for the scholarship.

Golemon said he will likely major in pre-med at Western.

"An excellent education coupled with reasonable costs and multiple academic scholarship opportunities ultimately swayed my decision," he said.
