On behalf of the Southwest Utah Sterling Scholar Committee, we wish to express appreciation to you for accepting our invitation to be a judge at the Southwest Utah Sterling Scholar Awards Competition.
Before the Event
You should see an email from “sterlingscholar@deseretmgt.com” inviting you to create your account to the judging portal on March 20th. This will allow you to start reviewing and scoring the student portfolios. It is not necessary or required, but you may print them. If you print the portfolios, please shred them or bring them the day of judging for us to safely dispose of.
Please take some time to review and preliminary score each schoars portfolio prior to April 3. These can be changed later if you wish.
Please be sure to log in to the portfolio here before the event to make sure there are no technical difficulties.
You will be contacted by SEDC with more instructions by March 20th.
