“I thought a state school was my only option because of the cost before my FASFA came back. As it turns out, after my FASFA came back with all of the grants and scholarships that USF offers, I am actually paying significantly less—about $2,000 less—than I would be at a state school. And importantly, I feel USF truly cares about me as an individual.”
