The University of South Carolina, founded in 1801, is a leading public research university in Columbia, South Carolina. It is affiliated with SACS. Over 100 different nationalities are represented among the university's approximately 35,000 national & international students. Approximately 10 associate degrees, 120 undergraduate, 180 graduate, and 60 doctoral programs are among the more than 350-degree programs that USC provides.
For freshmen who do not reside in South Carolina, there is a wide range of University of South Carolina scholarships that are given out by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
You are immediately given consideration for merit scholarships when you submit an application for admission to UofSC. Only first-time students who will be enrolled in the autumn semester are eligible for these awards. Except for the Provost Scholars Award, which may be added to any other award listed in this section, non-residents are only eligible for one Admissions Merit Award per person.
Non-institutional scholarships are outside awards with no connection to the University of South Carolina. Businesses, agencies, organisations, groups, and/or individuals directly sponsor them.
All federal direct loans are available through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. Federal direct subsidised and/or unsubsidized loans are automatically given to students at UofSC as part of our financial aid package. You have the option of accepting or rejecting a loan as a student.
