Financial Aid

USF makes every effort to ensure that every qualified student has access to an education. Many student financial aid programs are administered or coordinated through the USF Office of Financial Aid.

The Office of Financial Aid provides assistance to students by offering a variety of services including literature specific to the application process, program specific brochures, a Web site, a voice response telephone system that allows a student to access his or her own financial aid file, and assigned counselors based on the last four digits of students' social security numbers. Counselors and advisors are available by telephone, by appointment, and students may also e-mail counselors via the Web site (http://usfweb.usf.edu/enroll/finaid/finaid.htm). General questions may be directed to the office-wide e-mail address - financialaid2@admin.usf.edu.

FastWeb and ExPAN, nationwide scholarship searches, are available via the Web site (in addition to scholarship information specific to USF). Students may also complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) electronically. A link from the Financial Aid Web site provides either a version students can download, or a Web version. Students may also complete the FAFSA in the Office of Financial Aid lobby during regular business hours.

Both OASIS (On-line Access Student Information System) Web and OASIS VR allow students the opportunity to view and hear their awards for each semester, to see if their financial aid files are complete, to see what additional documents are required and more. A link to OASIS Web is available on our Web site.

The Office of Financial Aid is located in the Student Services Building (SVC) 1102, 813/974-4700. Financial aid services are also provided on all regional campuses.
