Mission

The Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara inspires, encourages, and supports Santa Barbara County students to and through college, graduate, and vocational school by providing information, advising, and scholarships.

Vision

Every student is empowered to achieve his or her full potential through access to postsecondary education.

Values

The Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara believes that students need and deserve education beyond high school. A lack of money should not be an obstacle to a student striving to achieve his or her goals.

Since its founding in 1962, the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara has impacted the lives of local youth by:

  • Awarding scholarships provided by generous donors
  • Advising students and their families on how to save and pay for college
  • Reaching out to encourage students who are underserved or overlooked
