My daughter is an ISAC Illinois State Scholar. When I attended U of I in the 1980s, the State gave us $500 a semester (or year?). Does the State of Illinois provide any financial award now or is the Illinois State Scholar just an honorary award? TIA.
I don’t think so, unfortunately. If you look at the copy of the letter to finalists at

Nope, sorry

Yes, but unfortunately the kids were notified they were ISS after college apps were already done for the November 1 deadline!
You would think a school could at least recognize the achievement with $500 book stipend or something
