The University of South Florida (USF) is offering some generous scholarships for top students who are either freshmen or transfer! To be considered for merit-based scholarships from the Office of Admissions, students must submit a completed admissions application by the priority deadline.
Below are the documents that are needed to be sent to the University by the scholarship completion deadline of May 1st:
- Official SAT/ACT scores.
- Official Post-Secondary transcripts
- For Upper Level Transfer students (determined by USF during evaluation), they will need to provide official TOEFL or IELTS.
SCHOLARSHIPS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS STARTING IN THE FALL SEMESTER
FRESHMAN SCHOLARSHIPS:
These awards are not-stackable. Students will receive the highest award for which they qualify within the awarding timeline. All Green & Gold awards are credited in the form of a partial out-of-state tuition waiver; exact award amounts vary based on the number of credits in which a student enrolls each term.
Of course, passports are not going away. You will continue to need one to travel. This is why you’re better having more than one.
