The Writers' Guild Publishing Award
The Writers' Guild Publishing Award honors a student who has been published in either Artifact or Delta Winds within 12 months of application. This means that published work in the Spring Semester or Fall Semester prior to the March 2 scholarship deadline qualifies the student for a $250 award to be spent as the student desires: on books, fees or living expenses!
Students complete the required Delta College Scholarship Application and include a photocopy of their original piece as it appeared in the essay or literary magazine. The Writers' Guild Publishing Award honors "publishing" rather than the work itself, so work in any genre qualifies: essay, poetry, short story, cartooning, drawing, photography, etc.

English Major Award
The English Major Award honors two English majors of academic achievement with recognition and $250 of support. To qualify, applicants must be a declared English major with a minimum 3.0 GPA and attending full time as a continuing or transferring student. Applicants must have completed English 1B or C1001 (formerly 1D) and one English elective. This scholarship was established in 2019.
The Sacramento Press Club's Annual Scholarships
Students who will transfer as juniors in the fall semester may apply in their last year at Delta College for a Sacramento Press Club journalism award. Among many offered is one for $4,000 in honor of the late Jerry Gillam, a 35-year veteran of the Capitol press corps. He is remembered for his knowledgeable political reporting in the Los Angeles Times' Sacramento bureau, his friendly mentoring of new Capitol reporters and his larger-than-life sense of humor.
