The Deseret News and the KSL Broadcast Group Sterling Scholar Awards Program recognizes outstanding scholastic achievement of high school seniors in the state of Utah.  The program is sponsored in the cooperation with the Utah State Office of Education, district officials, and high school administrators.  Utah Colleges and Universities also support the program through varied scholarship opportunities for Sterling Scholar winners. 

Regional winners from PCHS will receive a $1,000 college tuition scholarship whether they attend an in state or out of state college.

Park City High School is looking for well-rounded seniors who have a strength and passion in a particular area of study.  Students will be recognized for their talent in a specific category, their academic achievements, leadership and citizenship.  

The areas are broken into 16 categories, including: English, Mathematics, Social Science, Science, World Languages, Computer Technology, Skilled and Technical Sciences Education, Agricultural Science, Family and Consumer Sciences, Business and Marketing, Speech/Theater Arts/Forensics, Vocal Performance, Visual Arts, Instrumental Music, Dance and General. 

Paper applications are in Ms. Briley's office, in the Counseling Office.  Applications are due to Heather Briley: Friday, October 30th, 2015.  

Final candidates will be selected by faculty and staff within the high school and notified mid-November.  Once selected, students will work with faculty mentors and Ms. Briley in preparing their online portfolios and interview skills for the regional competition in March.

All students interested in the program are encouraged to apply whether you are considering an out of state or in state college experience.  This prestigious and competitive program can be a great experience and resume builder.
