Each year EAP students receive over
$1 million in need-based and other EAP scholarships typically
ranging from $500 to $3,000, varying by program. Awards
are based primarily on the cost of a particular EAP program
and a student's financial circumstances. These scholarships
supplement all other types of financial aid awarded through
the campus financial aid offices, for which EAP students
are still eligible (UC, California state, federal aid). Below you can view UCSB Scholarships,EAP Scholarships and National Scholarships.
UCSB SCHOLARSHIPS & GRANTS
UCSB SCHOLARSHIPS:

EAP Scholarships for Financial Aid Recipients
EAP scholarship funds are provided by the Office of the President directly to the UCSB Financial Aid Office and are awarded to eligible EAP financial aid recipients based on need. These awards are assigned by the Financial Aid Office; no application is needed.
UCSB GRANTS:
Jeanie Anderson Memorial Fund Undergraduate Research/Creative Projects Grant
These grants will provide resources to pursue learning beyond the classroom and/or allow a student to establish unique relationships abroad to expand his or her learning experience. Many of a student’s personal goals and dreams for international study can be translated into a grant proposal. In the past, grants have been awarded for $500 to $1,000. Some past projects have included “Acoustic Map: Sounds of Germany,” “Comparing Recycling Programs across Western Europe,” “Invasive Plant Species on the Island of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil,” “Flamenco Music Project,” and “The Scandinavian Response to the War in Iraq.”

This fund was established to remember Jeanie Anderson by providing grants to students studying abroad. Jeanie was a UCSB student who was selected along with her three roommates to participate in EAP in 1972. After arriving in Bordeaux, France, she traveled to the north of Spain where she tragically drowned.
