The Sigma Delta Pi National Spanish Honor Society is a society formed to acknowledge superior scholastic performance in the field of Spanish language, literature, and culture, and is open to membership at institutions of higher learning in the United States and Canada.
The Society encourages college students to acquire a greater interest in, and a deeper understanding of, Spanish culture, art, and history. The organization recognizes outstanding undergraduate scholarship in the field of Spanish by awarding annually the Sigma Delta Pi Award for Scholarship.
