Our Scholarship Fund
Student scholarships are about the future. We are committed to investing in that future by helping students of Scandinavian heritage or those wishing to study our culture. We realize that such an investment is not simply financial though that is important. It is also about our community’s ability and willingness to demonstrate support for the next generation. It is also about how such a scholarship makes the recipient feel. We are eager to encourage them to dream about a future in which they become productive and meaningful members of our society.
Our Legacy Circle
Leaving a legacy to support the American Scandinavian Foundation of Santa Barbara is easy and effective. Simply include ASFSB in your Will or Trust Instrument, specifying whether you would like your gift to support the operations of the Foundation or its Scholarship Fund. In either case, you will know that you have taken a major step in supporting Scandinavian culture in our community. Should you need help in making this happen, just ask any member of the Board as each of them will probably be a member of the Legacy Circle.
