Now what?
Visit Campus
Discover what it is like to be a USF student by visiting with current students and professors. If you have not done so already, make sure and schedule a personal visit to campus. Virtual visits are also available in which individual appointments can be set up with admissions, financial aid, current students and professors.
Apply for Financial Aid
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) allows you to be considered for aid from Federal Financial Aid Programs. It is highly recommended that you submit the FAFSA, even if you think your family may not qualify.
Complete your FAFSA as soon as possible after October 1, and include USF school code (003469). USF has a priority filing date of January 1 for the FAFSA. The USF Financial Aid Office begins sending out Official Award Notifications after January 1. After this point, students receive rolling notifications.
