Fuse Scholarship Terms Full Time

In order to receive and renew this scholarship, you must agree to the following terms and conditions:

Your scholarship assists with educational expenses at USF. If the total amount of aid you receive from federal, state and institutional sources, in addition to this scholarship, exceeds the total cost of attendance (required student fees, room and board, books, transportation and miscellaneous expenses), then some portion of your aid will be reduced so that the total will not exceed the cost of attendance.

You must be Pell Grant eligible (includes meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements) during the year the scholarship is awarded.

You must register as a full-time (minimum 12 undergraduate credit hours), degree-seeking student during fall/spring for your scholarship funds to disburse. However, earning the minimum number of hours to be paid is not sufficient to renew your scholarship(s).

You must earn (30) USF credit hours during each academic year (fall/spring/summer) and maintain a minimum 2.3 GPA for USF coursework and remain on your GradPath. This scholarship does not pay in the summer.

Spring Admits – Students beginning in the spring term need to complete 15 USF credits during the remainder of the academic year (spring/summer). Spring admits must also maintain a 2.3 USF GPA. In subsequent academic years (fall/spring/summer) students will be required to complete 30 USF credits while maintaining a 2.3 GPA.

This scholarship is renewable up to 2 years (4 consecutive fall and spring semesters).

Scholarship recipient information, such as GPA and academic progress, may be provided to scholarship donors and used in connection with the USF Foundation’s Annual Donor Stewardship report.
