MACOMB, IL – Ralston Valley High School senior Shaun McDonnell, of Arvada, CO, has been selected for Western Illinois University's Centennial Honors Scholarship, which awards $10,000 per year to academically high-achieving students.

High school students with an ACT score of 30 or higher (or SAT equivalent of 1360), and a grade point average of 3.0 or higher, are eligible for the scholarship.

McDonnell is planning to major in biology/pre-med. After graduation, he plans to become a doctor.

"Receiving a high academic scholarship and the ability to play Division One soccer on the WIU men's soccer team is what attracted me to WIU, along with receiving in-state tuition and the Centennial Honors Scholarship," McDonnell said.

For more information about the Centennial Honors Scholarship, contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at (309) 298-3100.
