In 1997, the Bernard Osher Foundation granted SFAI a generous gift to establish a merit-based scholarship fund for students enrolled in the BFA degree program. These highly prestigious scholarships of $5,500 are awarded to top-ranked students from the entering class of transfer students. Osher Memorial Scholarships awarded to transfer students are renewable each year until completion of the BFA degree program and are contingent upon maintaining full-time enrollment status and a minimum 3.25 SFAI cumulative grade point average. Osher Scholars are also eligible to apply for the Osher Scholars Summer Study/Travel Abroad program, which offers grants for summer study while students are enrolled at SFAI. With this gift, SFAI has joined the ranks of 18 other prominent colleges and universities who participate in the Osher Scholars Program, including Stanford University and the University of California at Berkeley.
