The USC Bovard Scholars Application

Many of our nation’s brightest minds and potential leaders go undiscovered by top colleges due to social and financial barriers or even a simple lack of information or support. That’s one of the reasons USC Bovard Scholars was founded seven years ago. We prepare our scholars to:

  • Gain admission to top-tier universities

  • Navigate the complex admissions and financial aid process

  • Feel at home on a college campus through an immersive residential experience on USC’s campus

And so much more. Remember, this is all at no cost to our scholars or their family. We invite all high-achieving high school juniors with financial need to apply. Applications are due January 13, 2023, at 5:00 pm PT.

For more information, visit scholars.usc.edu.
