William F. Lucas/San Diego Astronomy Association Endowment

William F. Lucas was a long time amateur astronomer in San Diego who taught telescope mirror making in Balboa Park to hundreds of other astronomy enthusiasts. Mr. Lucas was fascinated by astronomy, but was never able to go back to school to satisfy his dream of becoming a full-time professional astronomer. Because he was not able to attend college and study astronomy, he wanted to help others do so. Before his death, he endowed a scholarship fund to support serious student astronomers who love the stars as he did.

If you do not meet all of these requirements in a given term, you may lose your scholarship eligibility and your scholarship may be canceled.
