Allison Jackson Memorial Scholarship
Eligibility
The Allison Jackson Memorial Scholarship was established
by family and friends, in memory of Allison Lilia Jackson,
who died in early September 1988, just prior to beginning
her undergraduate studies at the University of California,
Santa Barbara. As a graduate of John Muir High School in
Pasadena, California, Allison was accepted to UCSB for the
fall quarter of 1988. Unfortunately, Allison suffered from
sickle cell anemia—a condition that made her strong and
confident in her outlook on life. The disease claimed her
life during her participation in the Educational Opportunity
Program (EOP) Summer Transitional Enrichment Program
(STEP) just short of her beginning to fulfill her promises and
aspirations as a university student.
The Allison Jackson Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a first year student at UC Santa
Barbara during the spring quarter of each academic year.
African American students from the Altadena /Pasadena area or, if no students are deemed
eligible from this area, students from the greater Los Angeles area are considered.
Eligible candidates must be in good academic standing upon completion of a minimum of
12 residential units of credit at the end of fall quarter.
Amount of Scholarship
For the 2006-2007 school year, the Jackson family is offering one scholarship award in the
amount of $500.
Application Process
Invited students shall submit a brief biographical statement (1 ½ to 2 pages), which should
include statements describing the following questions: Why do you need the scholarship?
What has been some of your personal struggles? What is your family background? What are
your personal and professional goals?
Please return your statements, including personal information such as name, address, phone
number and email address, to the Educational Opportunity Program by Friday, March 9, 2007,
Attention: Candice E. Brooks. This is a set deadline.
