UCSB recognizes scholastic achievement in many ways. The Dean ' s List, which is made up of students who earn a grade point average of 3.5 or higher, is growing steadily as enrollment increases. Each year the top academic student of the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes receives an Associated Students award. During the fall two new Associated Students awards were under consideration. For the 1962-63 semesters the Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships gave approximately 150 awards. The number varies yearly, according to available resources. The Alumni are extremely active in promoting additional scholarship funds. Their contributions are matched by the Regents. This year the total exceeded $3,000, and they gave twelve awards. However, there is an ever increasing need for scholarships. There are five times as many deserving students who apply for scholarships as receive awards from the Scholarship Committee. Our aim is to establish a fund sufficient to aid a greater proportion of the students. awards and honoraries 15
