Return to USF on a Double Dons Scholarship

• The Double Dons Scholarship is restricted to tuition, and does not cover fees or housing.
• Other institutional awards (including cohort discounts, school/program merit awards, athletics scholarships) cannot be stacked on top of this 20 percent tuition scholarship. In the event you are eligible for both the Double Dons Scholarship and another award, you will be offered the larger of the two awards.
• The scholarship does not cover undergraduate prerequisite courses.
• The scholarship is valid for graduate courses beginning in the 2024–25 academic year (with programs starting in the summer, fall, or spring).
• The scholarship does not apply to additional or optional units that students choose to take in the first year of the program, beyond the standard number of units required in the selected graduate program.

Eligible programs include all credit-bearing post-baccalaureate certificate programs, post-baccalaureate pre-health programs, and master’s programs, and master’s programs except for Master of Science in biology, Master of Science in chemistry, Master of Laws, Master of Legal Studies in Taxation, and Master of Marriage and Family Therapy.

You may defer admission for up to one year and still be eligible for the scholarship pending the program’s approval and continued availability and participation of the program. Scholarship programs are subject to change.

There is no minimum number of units required beyond any stated program requirements.

Students who will be in their second or subsequent year of a USF graduate program are not eligible for the Double Dons scholarship. Students who have been admitted to a participating USF graduate program starting summer, fall, or spring 2024 and who meet the eligibility requirements will automatically receive a Double Dons scholarship.
