Undergraduate financial aid includes scholarships and grants, low-interest loans and work-study.  While we expect the student's family to play a leading role in financing a college education, USC has a long tradition of fully meeting the USC-determined financial need for undergraduate students who satisfy all federal, state and university eligibility requirements and meet all published deadlines.

This section of our website contains key information to help clarify and explain the financial aid application process for new and continuing undergraduate and their parents.
