Scholarships are a type of financial aid that does not have to be repaid. Sources for scholarships include federal and state governments, the university, your academic department or professional school, community and civic groups, and private industry. Scholarships do not increase the total amount of your need-based financial aid.
In most cases, they will change the composition of your financial aid package. Outside scholarships will typically reduce the amounts of student loans or Federal Work-Study you may receive. We make every attempt to preserve any university need-based grants. If your scholarship agency requires you to submit proof of enrollment, you can provide a USC Enrollment and Fee Summary by printing a copy of it from your myUSC student profile.
Look for this icon. Federal regulations require that we consider all of your resources when determining your eligibility for financial aid. If you are a recipient of an outside award not listed in your financial aid summary, please send us a copy of your scholarship award notification so that we can adjust your financial aid package accordingly and notify you of the revision.
Most scholarships will replace some type of financial aid in your aid summary. If you would like to know how your scholarship will affect your financial aid eligibility, please contact our office. USC Merit Scholarships USC administers more than a dozen prestigious scholarship programs, ranging in value from a few thousand dollars up to full tuition.
They are awarded based on academic excellence, leadership, service and talent. Scholarship Universe Search this Scholarship Management portal for departmental awards or see if your department maintains its own scholarship website.
