MACOMB, IL – High school senior Kory Eaton, of Somonauk (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 Western due to its moderate size, allowing many opportunities and its small town location. A student should consider Western for its wide range of quality majors offered," stated Eaton.

Eaton hopes to major in computer science. While at Western, he plans to participate in track and field.

In high school, Eaton participated in basketball, track and National Honor Society.
