April 16, 2015
MACOMB, IL – Mount Zion High School senior Alexander Brewer, of Decatur, IL, 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 and a grade point average of 3.0 or higher are eligible for the scholarship.
"I selected WIU not only because it was the best financial option, but also because the faculty are very engaged with their students and there are many social events and programs to add to the overall college experience," Brewer said of his WIU decision.
Brewer said he expects to major in biology-microbiology at Western.
After graduation from WIU, Brewer hopes to pursue a graduate degree in research.
In high school, Brewer participated in football.
