National Merit Scholars
The National Merit Scholarship Program is an annual academic competition for recognition and college undergraduate scholarships that began in 1955. More than 1.5 million students enter the National Merit Scholarship Program each year. Approximately 34,000 students are named Commended Students.
National Honor Society
Providence Catholic National Honor Society is founded on the principles of scholarship, leadership, character and service. The selection process begins when students who meet academic qualifications are given applications for NHS membership. Once the student completes their application, Providence Catholic faculty members are asked to evaluate the candidates on the four guiding principles. Finally, the Faculty Council reviews the prospective students and makes the final decision on membership.
Illinois State Scholars
The following Providence Catholic students were named Illinois State Scholars. Selection is based on ACT scores received prior to senior year and other critical criteria as determined by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission.
