About the Scholarship

The University of San Francisco pays international transfer students $14,000 to $20,000 a year, set by the grade average they bring with them.

The university publishes this as a separate international transfer table rather than folding transfers into its first-year bands, so the figures here are the ones that apply.

It applies to tuition only, and the university states it offers no full tuition scholarships to international students.

Transfer application dates follow the university's transfer admission schedule, checked on 13 September. The published deadlines are recurring and do not specify an entry year.

What It Covers

Tuition

$20,000 a year at a grade average of 3.75 or higher, $18,000 from 3.50, $16,000 from 3.20 and $14,000 from 2.90. Applied to tuition only, which is $63,880 for 2026 to 2027. Renewable each year for up to four years on satisfactory academic progress, with no grade threshold published. Figures are from the university's autumn 2026 table; it has not yet published autumn 2027. Students admitted through its English language or Fresh Start programmes, or to nursing, fall outside these bands.

Eligibility

Transfer entry, with the band set by the transfer grade average at the time of application.

Eligible Countries

The university publishes this table under a heading for international first-year merit scholarships, states that 87 per cent of international students receive merit scholarships, and states that it does not offer full tuition scholarships to international students, who are also not eligible for need-based aid.

All countries

How to Apply

No separate application. The university considers all transfer applicants automatically. Transfer applications are due by 1 November for spring and 1 March for fall; applications completed after the published deadlines are reviewed on a space-available basis.
