Information for International Students
The University does not provide application fee waivers to international students nor are international students eligible for federal or university need-based financial aid from the USC Financial Aid Office. However, there are some resources that may provide assistance to international students such as graduate assistantships, private financing, and on-campus work (not including Federal Work-Study) with permission from the Office of International Services. These jobs cannot start until after the first semester of study and must be funded solely with departmental funds. To find out more about these types of resources please visit the Office of International Services website or the Graduate Admission Financial Support for International Students website.
