How to find USC scholarships for international students?

I'm an international student looking into the University of Southern California, and I'm curious about the scholarships they offer. Does anyone know what scholarships are available for international students at USC and how competitive they are?

8 months ago

The University of Southern California (USC) offers a variety of scholarships for which international students can apply.

One of the key scholarships is the Trustee Scholarship, which is a full-tuition scholarship based on academic excellence, leadership, service, and talent. It's important to note that this is a highly competitive scholarship with a comprehensive review process, so demonstrating strong academic performance and involvement in extracurricular activities is crucial.

On a similar note, the Presidential Scholarship is a half-tuition scholarship that, like the Trustee Scholarship, is merit-based and quite competitive.

There are also talent-based scholarships, which are determined by the individual academic departments at USC. If you have a unique talent or excelled in a particular field, these may be worth looking into.

For all these scholarships, you are automatically considered when you apply for admission to USC. There's no separate application required! However, keep in mind the December 1st deadline for scholarship consideration. While USC's regular decision deadline is January 15th, applying before December 1st makes you eligible for these scholarships.

Lastly, the USC Financial Aid Office also provides assistance to international students in identifying external sources of scholarships and funding, such as from organizations in your home country or global scholarships.

Remember, scholarships at USC are highly competitive so it's also worthwhile to search for external scholarships or other funding opportunities. Good luck with your scholarship search and applications!
