Alumni Pour Millions Into Student Futures

Santa Barbara High’s alumni just shattered their own record, awarding over $270,000 to 87 students—many first in their families to dream of college. Started with just two scholarships, this volunteer-run program now fuels dreams at universities and trade schools alike, honoring past grads who paved the way. Scholarships are awarded based on grades, essays, need, and interviews—spotlighting grit and potential. Each dollar comes from alumni, often in memory of teachers, classmates, or principals, turning personal history into future opportunity. In five years, they’ve poured over $1.3 million back into students. The ceremony? A vibrant celebration on campus, complete with alumni-owned catering and a powerful reminder: once you’re a Don, you’re always a Don.
