At the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara, we believe that students need and deserve education beyond high school, and that every motivated student should have the opportunity to pursue postsecondary education. We have been supporting students in their higher education goals since 1962. After careful review of the applications and the more than 500 scholarship funds we manage, we provide scholarships to eligible students from Santa Barbara County for college, graduate, and vocational school.
To be eligible for the SFSB General Scholarship Program, applicants must: have attended school in Santa Barbara County for at least four of the six years between grades 7-12; be a high school senior or GED-equivalent; plan to enroll in college/university full-time; and be a US citizen, permanent resident, or AB 540 eligible. (Current or previous wards of the Santa Barbara County Court [youth in foster care after the age of 13] residing outside of the county are eligible to apply.) This is also open to returning and/or non-traditional students. Dollar amounts may vary, so inquire with the foundation for further details.
