BURTON SCHOLARSHIP

The Burton Scholarship, administered by the Community Foundation Santa Cruz County, is designed to support local students from Santa Cruz County high schools as they pursue higher education. The program has historically awarded funding to graduates from regional schools, including St. Francis High School, Watsonville High School, and Harbor High School. Recipients use the financial assistance to help cover the costs of attending their chosen colleges or universities.

To be considered for this regional opportunity, students must navigate the application process established by the foundation. Applicants should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application, as financial aid offices use these forms to determine overall need and coordinate the scholarship with other state and federal aid packages.
