    About this scholarship

    The Lillian Burton Scholarship is a regional financial aid program designed to assist undergraduate students from Santa Cruz County. Administered by the Community Foundation Santa Cruz County, this opportunity supports local residents as they pursue higher education. Recipients are selected based on their academic dedication and community involvement within the county.

    The award provides up to $5,000 annually to help cover the costs of attending college. This scholarship is renewable, allowing students to secure funding for consecutive years of study as they progress toward their degrees.

    To apply, students must complete the foundation's application process. While the program operates independently, applicants should also submit the FAFSA or the California Dream Act Application to establish their general financial aid profile, as local foundations often review these documents to assess financial need. Interested students should consult the official page for current dates and specific application deadlines.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
