Montgomery resident Kevin Emrick has earned a Presidential Scholarship to North Central College in Naperville.

The Presidential Scholarship is the top merit-based scholarship at North Central College and is offered to less than 15 percent of the incoming class. The scholarship is based on a combination of a student's high school grade-point average from core academic classes and ACT/SAT test scores and is renewable for up to four years.

Emrick began his studies at North Central this fall.
