Dear Emeriti: 

We are still working towards our goal of raising funds to sponsor the Emeriti Association's two new Promise Scholars.  Without your help, the recipients of our scholarship may have to graduate with a significant debt burden. Please consider making a donation at this time. 

The Emeriti Association supports 2-year and 4-year scholarships for exceptional, low-income, often first-generation students at UCSB through its Promise Scholars Scholarship Fund. These students are selected for their high potential for future impact on their communities and chosen professions. Each year, the emeriti sponsor one additional 4-year student and one new 2-year transfer student, at a cost of $15,000, raised exclusively from our membership. Please consider a donation at this time to support our two new students.
