Legacy Scholarships

Each year, Santa Barbara Bowl Outreach proudly supports the next generation of artists by awarding two scholarships to Santa Barbara County high school seniors continuing their education in the performing arts.

In partnership with the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara, students can apply through the General Scholarship Program. It’s a simple way to take that next step toward college and a future in the performing arts.

The Legacy Scholarship Fund celebrates and carries forward the spirit of leadership and dedication that has shaped the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation. Established in honor of Monte T. Brown and Paul Doré, this fund helps open doors for local students with creative dreams.


Who Can Apply?

To be eligible, students must:

  • Plan to attend a Title IV-approved school full-time and pursue studies in the performing arts, , either as a performer or focused on the technical, organizational, or business aspects of the performing arts. Priority will be given to students pursuing traditional performing arts disciplines, including music, dance, or theatre.
  • Have attended a Santa Barbara County school for at least four of the six years between grades 7 and 12, and graduate (or receive a GED) from a Santa Barbara County high school.
  • Be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or AB 540 eligible.
