Scholarship Competition

For First-Year Students

Saturday, February 7, 2026
Time: 8 a.m.-12 p.m.

This competition is open to Presidential and Trustee Fellowship Scholarship recipients who are accepted to USF prior to the Friday before the competition. Attending students will be asked to write an essay and participate in an informal interview with a USF faculty member to compete for scholarship funds. Students interested in the Duns Scotus Honors Program and/or the Science Fellows Program will have an opportunity to learn about those programs during this time as well.

Parents or guardians are invited to attend with their student and participate in a special parent program while students are following their schedule.
