Each year, USC Marshall awards a number of scholarships to outstanding continuing Marshall undergraduate students.
Scholarships recognize academic excellence and outstanding involvement and service. Marshall Continuing Student Scholarships are awarded for one academic year only, split evenly between fall and spring.* Scholarships can help cover costs including tuition and university fees.
Currently enrolled Marshall and Leventhal students who are planning to be enrolled full time for the next academic year are invited to apply for these one-year awards. All students who submit a complete scholarship application by the posted deadline will be considered for the many scholarship awards being offered. Scholarship recipients acknowledge that the receipt of these awards may alter the allocation of funds within their current financial aid package. For questions regarding your financial aid package, please contact the USC Office of Financial Aid at (213) 740-4444 or through askUSC.

The 2025-2026 Marshall Continuing Student Scholarship application will open April 1, 2025, via Scholarship Universe, USC's scholarship platform. The deadline to apply is April 30, 2025.
