Continuing Student Scholarships

USC Dornsife offers a number of scholarships each year for continuing students (current USC freshmen, sophomores, and juniors) with Dornsife majors.  Incoming students are not eligible for these scholarships, but may apply for them in subsequent years.  These scholarships are one-year awards.

Continuing Student Scholarship applications for the 2012-2013 academic year are now available.

Please note: these scholarships are not available to students of the USC professional schools, such as Fine Arts, Architecture, Business, Theater, Engineering, Communication, PPD, Cinema etc. Applications from students without a major listed on the application will not be accepted.

  • Amount Awarded:

    $1,000 to $5,000 per award

  • Number of Awards:

    Varies. USC Dornsife Continuing Student Scholarships are a collection of many scholarships available through USC Dornsife.

  • Selection Criteria:

    Open to any current USC student who has a major in USC Dornsife and has completed at least one semester at USC (12 units or more). Incoming freshmen are not eligible for these awards. At the time of application and during the 2011-2012 academic year, the student must have full-time status (registered in a minimum of 12 units) in a Dornsife major. Undecided or undeclared status does not qualify one for these awards. A minimum cumulative USC GPA of 3.0 is required.  Selection criteria include extracurricular involvement, leadership potential, and campus and community involvement.

  • Please Note:

    Individual awards will vary depending on your financial aid package and/or the number of qualified applicants. Receipt of award monies may alter allocation of funds with your financial aid package (there is a chance your previously-awarded grant award may decrease in some situations). Scholarships awarded may only be used to replace University tuition costs.
