Delta Scholars Program Deadline
The Delta Scholars Program (DSP) challenges bright and motivated undergraduates to become leaders ready to collaborate with communities on issues related to public health, economic renewal, and community resilience.
The program includes pre-sessions in the spring, a two- week Summer Research Institute and Delta Innovation Tour, and a Capstone Project where students partner on solutions that extend far beyond the program itself. The experience culminates in a fall conference bringing together partners to continue to build community and collaboration.
Participation in DSP includes engagement with and learning from diverse partners brought together under the umbrella known as the Delta Directions Consortium. This involves researchers from universities, outreach practitioners from nonprofit organizations and the Extension Service, leaders from philanthropic foundations, and many others. Scholars also build their networks to include an array of other leaders from community and regional organizations.
