Scholarship Information
The University of California, Santa Barbara has a variety of scholarship opportunities.
While many scholarships are administered by the Financial Aid Office, some are available
through other campus departments. For some programs, there is no application process,
and the recipients are selected on the basis of criteria already available to the
university.
Financial Aid Office
All students that submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year
by the March 2 priority deadline are considered for scholarship support. There is no
other application that needs to be submitted. Because of limited funds, almost all
scholarships, including restricted scholarships (e.g., specific backgrounds, academic
interests, career objectives, etc.), are awarded to continuing students that have done
very well academically at UCSB. Additionally, all scholarships administered by the
Financial Aid Office are awarded on the basis of need. None are awarded solely on the
basis of merit.
New students tell us about their criteria that might meet specific restricted scholarship
requirements when they complete the “Scholarship Opportunities” section in Step 2 of the
online admissions application or the equivalent section of the paper admissions application.
During that process, they are asked to review a list of eligibility characteristics and check
off those that apply to them. These characteristics remain part of the students’ financial
aid application records for future years’ scholarship consideration.
Financial aid applicants are reviewed for scholarship eligibility at the time their other
aid eligibility is determined; thus, scholarship eligibility will be posted on their
Financial Aid Award Letter along with other aid for which they qualify.
Regents Scholarship
New freshmen and transfer students with outstanding academic records and personal achievement
are considered for Regents Scholarships, the University's most prestigious scholarship award.
At UCSB, the award is coordinated by the Office of Admissions. For more information, please
