GIVE2COO has ended, but you can still make a gift!
Academic Scholarships

ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS help to ensure a diverse and deserving array of students, across all disciplines and majors, have the opportunity to receive an outstanding education while learning how to use their gifts and talents to serve God and humankind. Gifts to the General Academic Scholarship Fund increase access to a USF education and promote sustained success for enrolled students. USF awards more than $5.5 million in Academic Scholarships to students annually.
