Financial Aid & Cost
Invest in your USF Degree
The majority of USF students don’t pay the full cost of attendance because they’ve received financial aid. That’s why it’s important to apply for financial aid, even if you don’t think you’re eligible.
Cost of Attendance
The full cost of attendance includes tuition and fees, plus other expenses to keep in mind, like housing, meals, books, and travel.
Get started
Undergraduate financial aid
Good news: You’re automatically considered for merit scholarships when you apply to USF. For other types of aid, you’ll file a FAFSA or CA Dream Act application.
Graduate financial aid
Many graduate programs at USF offer scholarships and assistantships. You may also qualify for loans if you submit a FAFSA.
