USC Stamps Leadership Scholarship

About this scholarship

The USC Stamps Leadership Scholarship is one of USC's full-tuition undergraduate admission merit scholarships. USC groups Stamps Leadership with the Mork Family and Trustee scholarships as full-tuition, four-year merit awards, while its scholarship page explains that Office of Admission merit scholarships are highly competitive and based on academic excellence, leadership, service, and talent. Students do not need to complete a need-based aid application to be considered for these merit awards, but they must submit a complete admission application by the USC merit scholarship deadline for their intended major. The scholarship is partial funding because the published benefit is tuition coverage; students must still budget for fees, housing, meals, health insurance, books, travel, and personal expenses unless other aid covers them. Renewal is governed by USC Undergraduate Admission Merit Scholarship rules, including full-time enrollment, maintaining USC academic standing, making normal progress toward the undergraduate degree, meeting annual unit expectations, and upholding conduct and academic integrity standards. International applicants must also meet USC admission and English proficiency requirements.
