What is a Sterling Scholar?

Delta High School Sterling Scholars compete for scholarships with other students in the Central Utah region.  Students apply in the spring of their junior year (find the application link at the top of this page) to represent Delta High School in one of fifteen different categories (see the categories and descriptions here). 

Interested students may begin early in their high school career to develop a portfolio showcasing their scholarship (including GPA & ACT), leadership, and community service throughout their high school experience.
