Office of Financial Aid
Have An Outside or Private Scholarship?
The Office of Financial Aid no longer accepts private scholarship award letters to add pending financial aid credits to your student account. In order for private scholarships to apply towards your semester balance, we will require the check to be received by the Student Accounts Office. Work with your private scholarship organization to ensure that your scholarship check is mailed out and received prior to the semester tuition due date. Private scholarship checks can be made out to "University of San Francisco" and mailed to: University of San Francisco, Attn: Student Accounts, 2130 Fulton Street, LMM 203, San Francisco, CA 94117.
Renew Your Financial Aid
Planning on using financial aid next year? Applying for financial aid is an annual process, and you must renew your FAFSA or CA Dream Act application every academic year. Make sure to renew by March 2 for the 2023–2024 academic year in order to be considered for maximum aid and get a financial aid package in time for next year. Since you’ve already created an account, the process may go quicker than you think!
