ABOUT STERLING SCHOLAR
The purpose of the Sterling Scholar Awards is to publicly recognize and encourage the pursuit of excellence in scholarship, leadership, and citizenship of high school seniors in the state of Utah. The Deseret Morning News and KSL Television developed the program especially to focus attention on outstanding seniors in order to recognize them publicly as well as award cash scholarships and tuition waivers from participating institutions. The Sterling Scholar Awards Program seeks to commend and encourage excellence among all students.
What happens at the Region Competition?
Tuacahn competes in the Southwest Utah Region competition. The regional competition is held at Dixie State University (2014, 2016, 2018) and Southern Utah University (2013, 2015, 2017) alternately. Students spend the day at one of the schools doing program rehearsal, having lunch, touring some of the campus, and completing their interviews. The evening program is a banquet, and the awards ceremony separately. It covers the entire school day and much of the evening.
