Quotes from President's Honors Scholarship Graduates

 鈥淚 really enjoyed my time at Delta and if I had not been a Presidential Honors Scholar I do not think I would have been as involved or had some of the experiences I did.鈥

 鈥淗onors isn鈥檛 just an academic mindset, it is a life mindset.鈥

 鈥淭his time allotted helps keep us on track to easily transfer to a four year college. The staff of 好色先生TV was more than helpful when it came to making sure I would graduate on time.鈥

 鈥淚 split my volunteer hours between a volunteer opportunity I sought out in my community, and a volunteer opportunity from one of my professors. Having the option to do both was great for me.鈥
