The USC Dornsife Continuing Student Scholarship application is a single application used to apply for a range of scholarships offered to continuing undergraduate students with a major in USC Dornsife. Scholarships range in amount from $1,000 to $6,000 per year. The total number of scholarships awarded varies. The application opens every spring semester and awards are applied towards the following academic year. Award notifications are sent in June.
To be eligible to apply you must:
- Have a declared USC Dornsife major
- Be enrolled full-time as an undergraduate student (12 units or more)
- Have a minimum cumulative USC GPA of 3.0
Spring admits with no USC GPA may apply, but must meet the application’s GPA requirement by the end of the spring semester if selected for an award.
During the awarded academic year, scholarship recipients must:
- Maintain a USC Dornsife major
- Be enrolled full-time as an undergraduate student during both fall and spring semesters (12 units or more)
- Maintain a minimum cumulative USC GPA of 3.0
Students graduating fall of the awarded year are eligible to apply. These are awards for continuing students only. Students graduating before the start of the academic year to which the award applies are not eligible for consideration.
Scholarships through this application process are one-time awards. You must reapply each year to continue receiving a scholarship award. Receiving (or not receiving) a scholarship a previous year has no bearing on whether or not you will receive a scholarship for the upcoming year.
