USFCA Class of 2026 EA/ED decisions

Thanks, I’ll tell my daughter

I was told during the campus visit that the Honors certification is printed on the transcript

I just read all the posts and congratulations! We’re local and need a huge merit scholarship. Is $22k the highest amount? And what exactly would we need to show to get that amount or higher? What is USF looking for in a student? My daughter is a junior. Thanks for any advice!

I’m not 100% certain, but my impression is that the highest merit award is the University Scholar at $27K/year. Another impression I have is that few people get more than a combined $40K in overall aid, but I know there are exceptions for super strong students who also have need. They are Jesuit and look for students who “put thought into action” (among other things).

What is a university tuition grant? Is that a loan or a work program?

Looks like this does not have to be repaid.

We have a super low EFC. D22 got a $22k “Presidential” merit scholarship with her acceptance packet. Then (because we filled out FAFSA) her financial aid offer came a couple of weeks later and it included a $17K University Tuition Grant (that does not have to be repaid).
