Scholarships

The primary fundraising goal of the USC Club of the Nation's Capital is to provide financial assistance to new and returning USC students from the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Money raised through event tickets and donations to the club helps support and cultivate current USC students - future USC alumni - through alumni club scholarships.

We currently fund two separate scholarships programs - USC Alumni Club Scholarships and Washington Intern Scholarships.

Alumni club scholarships are merit-based and awarded geographically based on the proximity of an alumni club to the applicant's hometown. The USC Club of the Nation's Capital awards scholarships to students from Maryland, Virginia, Washington, DC, and West Virginia. Awards range from $1,000 to $4,000 per year. Scholarships are awarded based on demonstrated academic strength, leadership and community involvement.  The application deadline for the 2011 academic year is December 1, 2010.

The USC Alumni Club of the Nation's Washington Intern Scholarship Program offers assistance to USC undergraduates enrolled in the Washington Semester program who wish to intern in an approved program. In addition to receiving a scholarship between $500 and $2,250, recipients also will take part in events sponsored by the USC Alumni Club of the Nation's Capital. The application deadline is November 10, 2009.

If you are interested in making a financial contribution to our scholarship program, please visit our donations page. Donations may be tax deductible based upon USC's 501(c)3 tax status. For more information, please contact our scholarships chair.

Sponsor a Named Scholarship

The USC Alumni Club of the Nation's Capital is pleased to be able to offer area alumni the opportunity to sponsor a named scholarship. Donors wishing to contribute more than $1,000 to the Club's scholarship fund are eligible to have a scholarship of the equivalent amount awarded in their honor, or in honor of someone they designate.

For more information, please contact our scholarships chair.
