On behalf of the WEF Scholarship Committee, I’d like to share that the 8^th annual Johnstone Scholarship application is now open and ready for DaVinci Seniors to apply!  Applications are due Tuesday, May 5. No late applications will be accepted. CLICK HERE to access the application.

About the Johnstone Scholarship:

Through the Wiseburn Education Foundation, Dr. Tom and Terry Johnstone have set up a scholarship to help five lucky DaVinci seniors get a little head start their freshman year of college. As you may know, Dr. Johnstone was the superintendent here in Wiseburn for many years and played a significant role helping to open the high school. With his help, Wiseburn Education Foundation is thrilled to be able to offer scholarships to our high school seniors.

UCSB will be hosting UC Application Virtual Summer Bootcamps for fall 2027 applicants applying to the University of California (UC) as a first-year freshman applicant. The 3-day webinar series will cover information about the UC system, majors, support programs and the UC application. 

Session dates will be on June 23-25 and a separate series happening July 7-9 for students attending California high schools. More information about the program can be found on our summer bootcamp application website.

The deadline to apply is Friday, May 22. While there is plenty of time for your student to apply, participation is limited and based on eligibility. Applications and participant selection will be on a first-come, first-served basis. We anticipate the Bootcamps will fill quickly, so apply today!
