529 College Savings Plan
To pay tuition or fees directly to the University of San Francisco (USF) using a 529 college savings plan, you have two options:
1. Electronic payment via Flywire (ACH)
You may initiate a digital electronic distribution through Flywire. This option allows your 529 payment to be sent electronically to USF.
2. Paper check
If your 529 college savings plan does not offer an electronic payment option through Flywire, you may request a paper check from your 529 plan administrator. The check should be made payable to University of San Francisco and mailed directly to:
University of San Francisco (USF)
Attn: Student Accounts
2130 Fulton Street, LM 339
San Francisco, CA 94117-1080
Please include the student’s full name and USF student ID number with every payment transaction to ensure the payment can be properly identified and applied to the student’s account.
