The University of Saint Francis has many endowed scholarships with varying criteria.  The amounts and number of each scholarship varies each year based on funds made available from the endowment.  These scholarships are awarded based on criteria established by the donors and applied to tuition and fees.  Endowed funds are applied prior to need based funds, so in some cases, this does reduce a student's USF Affordability Grant.  To be considered for these scholarships, please submit the general application.  It can be completed online or printed and submitted to the Office of Financial Aid.  Application deadline is May 1 each year.  These applications are reviewed during the month of May for the upcoming academic year.  Students are notified on their award notifications at the time they are awarded.  A luncheon is provided in the spring of the academic year so that students and donors can meet.  It is highly recommended for recipients to attend this event.
