Lifelong Value and Affordability
At USF, we invest in students like Sam and Olivia.
“When I was choosing a college, it came down to cost and academic quality. Once I found USF, everything fell into place. The academics are top tier and I knew I’d get a great return on my education. Then I got great scholarship funding. I receive an academic, athletic and legacy scholarship and it really reduces my costs!” — Sam Hudson ’25, Business Management major
“I get a Dean’s scholarship for academic merit and would not be able to attend without it. It helps a ton. USF is so generous and I’m impressed by how many scholarships they offer.” — Olivia Taylor ’24, Elementary Education major
