Create a Named Scholarship

A named scholarship is an impactful way to honor or memorialize a loved one or create a family legacy.

Endowed Scholarship

An endowed scholarship is a permanent investment in USF’s students. With a one time or multi-year commitment, your named scholarship endowment will live on in perpetuity. The Foundation invests the principal for long-term growth, and a portion of the annual return is awarded to students according to the criteria determined by your scholarship agreement.

Operating Scholarship

A named operating scholarship is a powerful way to provide immediate support for students. The full value of your gift is awarded directly to students in your name, typically over a five-year period.
