Kirby-Jones Scholarship
Marvel and Robert Kirby, whose family has long-standing ties to UCSB, generously endowed three scholarships in honor of their granddaughters for students in the College of Letters and Science Honors Program.
-
Applicants must be students in the College of Letters and Science Honors Program who will have at least 84 units completed by the end of the spring quarter in which they are applying.
-
Applicants must have been residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Ventura, or Kern Counties for a majority of their lives and/or have graduated from a high school in one of these counties.
-
Applicants must be registered full-time students for the entire academic year in for which they apply.
Selection criteria will include GPA, overall academic achievement, and involvement in campus and community activities. Some consideration will be given to financial need, which will be evaluated in consultation with the Office of Financial Aid; however, eligibility for financial is not a criterion for application. The recipients will be announced by the end of spring quarter.
