Scholarship Office
The USF Foundation Scholarship Office supports the USF student community through scholarship aid from USF Foundation donors. We are committed to being the best resource of customer service to past, present and future USF students. We strive to foster lifelong relationships with our donors through meaningful stewardship and to facilitate collaboration and mutual respect with our university colleagues on all USF campuses.
Thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends, the USF Foundation awards more than $10 million in privately funded scholarships to USF degree-seeking students each academic year. Learn more about scholarships
