The College of Design, Art & Performance (CDAP) processes scholarship requests through Financial Aid for state funded Talent Grants and USF Foundation funded scholarships. Department representatives must submit a complete USF Financial Aid Payment Request form for the appropriate fiscal year to the CDAP Dean's Office (Mailpoint: FAH 110 or email Sandra Levinus) for processing. Please send requests in EXCEL format only. Once available budget is confirmed, the scholarship form will be submitted to the USF Financial Aid for processing.

Talent Grants
CDAP receives an allocation from Financial Aid for talent-based grants to attract quality students. The allocation amount to each unit is determined within the College and announced to the units in the end of the fall semester for the upcoming academic year. The units have their own criteria and process for awarding the talent-based grants. Any overspending of a unit's allocation will be the responsibility of the unit to cover. The expenses over the College's allocation are transferred to the College and unit as applicable before the end of the fiscal year.
USF Employees can access more information by go to the USF Financial Aid Staff portal.
