MACOMB, IL – High school senior Rebecca Ducay, of Elgin, 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 (or SAT equivalent of 1390), and a grade point average of 3.0 or higher, are eligible for the scholarship.
 
Ducay plans to major in veterinary science.

"Western has proven that it can provide the same educational opportunities as many other larger Illinois universities, but at a much lower cost, which can greatly relieve financial pressure from a student's family," said Ducay. "I originally looked at Western because my cousin, who currently attends here, recommended it; however, after researching further, I realized it was a great fit for me in terms of cost, size, academics and distance from home."
 
In high school, Ducay was actively involved in class council, color guard, science olympiad and the National Honor Society.
