## 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.
