USF offers substantial scholarship support to students who have superior academic credentials. Financial need is not a requirement for most USF scholarships. However, all USF scholarships do have strict deadlines for application.

We recommend that you begin your scholarship search process early your senior year of high school.

When choosing a college or university and comparing scholarship packages, it is important to look at your total out-of-pocket cost. The state university system in Florida is a great deal in higher education, costing about $2850 per year for tuition and books. Private schools may offer you a larger scholarship, but have a much higher tuition cost.

As an academically talented student, you have many options. Look carefully at all of them.
