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.
