Ten Santa Barbara City College students have been named recipients of the Sara Evelyn Smith Scholarships in Theater Arts.
Established by the late Sara Smith, a local resident and philanthropist, the $1,000 scholarships are awarded annually to SBCC theater arts students who attended local high schools, maintain high academic achievement, and demonstrate performance talent and experience.
The winners recently performed brief monologues from artistic works of their choice at the SBCC Jurkowitz Theatre.
