Academic Scholarships

Academic scholarships are administered by a number of different offices within the University.

1. All financial aid applicants are automatically considered for scholarships administered through the Financial Aid Office if applications are completed by the priority deadlines. The different priority deadlines are published each year in the Financial Aid Office Information Bulletin.
2. The Office of Admissions administers a variety of different scholarships for first-time-in-college students and transfer students. All students interested in academic and minority scholarships should contact the Admissions Office directly. The scholarship application deadline is usually March 15 preceding the upcoming school year.
3. The Office of Adult and transfer Student Services administers a variety of different scholarships for transfer students. All transfer students interested in academic and minority scholarships should contact the Office of Adult and Transfer Student Services directly. The scholarship application deadline is usually March 15 preceding the upcoming school year.
4. The individual colleges of the University (the College of Business, the College of Education, etc.) administer some scholarships directly through the Dean's Office in each college. New students and transfer students are advised to contact the USF Admissions Office or the Office of Adult and Transfer Student Services first, and then the individual colleges regarding scholarship opportunities.
5. A limited number of out-of-state tuition waivers are available based on academic performance. New students and continuing students are eligible to apply for these awards. New students will be considered for the waiver based on their performance in high school or transfer institution. Continuing USF students will be considered for the waiver based on cumulative academic performance at USF. For information contact the Scholarship Coordinator in the Office of Admissions.

General inquiries regarding scholarships should be directed to the Scholarship Coordinator in the Office of Admissions.
