A Sterling Scholar is a high school senior who is publicly recognized and awarded for the pursuit of excellence in scholarship, leadership and citizenship in the State of Utah. A potential Sterling Scholar presents an all-encompassing portfolio on their work in a specific category and is interviewed by judges in the category’s field at various times.
At American Fork High School we encourage all students who consider themselves a scholar to begin working as a sophomore gaining academic, civic, and leadership experiences that will help them qualify for Sterling Scholar and thereby develop a broad and resourceful life experience. In the fall of senior year the call for Sterling Scholar applications will be issued and the process will begin for selection of the candidates for that year.
The 2024-2025 Sterling Scholar application process is now over. Winners will be announced October 25.
