March 23, 2015
MACOMB, IL – Neuqua Valley High School senior Kelly Crowley, of Naperville, 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.
"After visiting Western several times, I was just comfortable with the atmosphere," Crowley said. "I knew several people who are already attending Western and I just felt like I already fit in."
Crowley said she expects to major in athletic training at Western. After graduation, she would like to continue on to graduate school and study either physical therapy or another program related to athletic training.
In high school, Crowley participated in numerous clubs, including her school's literary magazine, the AA Club, pep band, JVZ soccer and the women's ultimate Frisbee club, which she was captain of for two years.
