USC has a long tradition of meeting 100 percent of the USC-determined financial need for undergraduates who satisfy eligibility requirements and meet all deadlines. This section of our website contains key information to help clarify and explain the financial aid application process for undergraduate new students, continuing students and their parents.
Financial aid consists of grants and scholarships, loans and Federal Work-Study. Families are expected to pay their share of a USC education, with students applying summer earnings toward the cost of a degree. Financing options include an interest-free tuition installment plan.
