Who We Are

For over 30 years, the Latino Scholarship Program (LSP) has created pathways to higher education for University of South Florida (USF) students and provided them with tools for success upon graduation.

Established in response to a growing need to support youth involved in the Hispanic community, LSP supports USF by recruiting, retaining and graduating students ready to contribute to the Tampa Bay area, both academically and socially.

Since its inception in 1992, LSP has awarded more than $5 million to more than 1,100 graduates thanks to the generous gifts and support of donors who establish operating or endowed scholarships.

What We Do

Scholarships help remove a common barrier for students to access higher education, including Latino and Hispanic students, who face unique academic challenges and opportunities — with more pursuing a college education every year.

The USF Latino Scholarship is a university-wide, undergraduate (incoming freshman or junior-level transfer) scholarship designed to assist USF in increasing the number of USF students interested in issues affecting the Latino community and/or likely to give back to the Latino community after graduation.

Your Impact

Contributing to the USF Latino Scholarship Fund will lift the financial burden of education from the shoulders of well-deserving students and give them the freedom to focus on achieving their collegiate, community and career goals. Your help will assist them in reaching their highest potential as they transform into tomorrow’s leaders.

Your partnership will help fund student scholarships. A gift of any size will create a better student financial experience and make an immediate impact on our students' success!

USF Faculty and Staff: You can give online through this site, or complete this payroll deduction form (enter fund #660005, Latino Scholarship) and email it to fscampaign@usf.edu.

What Your Generosity Will Do

Your gifts will make a real difference in the lives of these high-achieving students. Financial support will allow them to focus on learning and make connections by getting involved on campus.

Recipients of the USF Latino Scholarship will also benefit from professional development workshops and mentoring, which will play a significant role in their success both in college and post-graduation.
