About the Scholarship

The University of San Francisco pays $29,000 a year on this band of its international merit table, set by a grade average it calculates itself from core academic subjects.

The fifth band. Despite the Jesuit name, no faith condition attaches to it or to any of the university's merit awards.

The university is direct about the ceiling: it does not offer full tuition scholarships to international students, and they are not eligible for its need-based aid. Against tuition of $63,880 even the top band covers a little over half.

What It Covers

Tuition

$29,000 a year. 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

A grade average of 3.20 to 3.39 as the university calculates it from core academic subjects. Entry as a first-year student.

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. All applicants are considered automatically. The federal aid form deadline on the university's calendar applies to American citizens and permanent residents only.
