Attention high school seniors in the cities of Goleta, Santa Barbara, and Carpinteria!

The deadline to submit your application to the Art and/or the Honors scholarship is this Sunday!

Don’t forget, the Honors scholarship does require ONE academic letter of recommendation. You will NOT be able to submit your application without it.

Remember, ACT/SAT scores are optional for this application cycle.

Do not wait until the last minute to turn them in!

Contact us at info@sbscholarship.org if you have any questions or help@mykaleidoscope.com if you or your recommender are having technical difficulties.

Just in case you missed the information on our scholarships, here is a recap!

If you are a senior in the city of Goleta, Santa Barbara, or Carpinteria, we invite you to apply to our Art and/or Honors Scholarship! We are accepting applications until November 15 for both scholarships.

If you are interested in traditional fine art, like painting, drawing, sketching, photography, design, furniture, or sculpture (to name a few), apply to the Art Scholarship! You do not have to major in art or attend an art school.

If you have competitive grades (above a 4.0 weighted GPA) and many extracurricular activities, apply to the Honors Scholarship! We have made the ACT/SAT scores optional for this application cycle and only one academic letter of recommendation is required.

If you have a 2.0 GPA or higher and are an undergraduate (or high school senior), graduate, or vocational student, apply to the General Scholarship!

We are accepting applications until November 15 for the Art and Honors Scholarship and January 15, 2021 for the General Scholarship. The General Scholarship has a priority deadline of December 15 meaning that we will review your application and allow you to correct mistakes, if any, if submitted on or before December 15.
