Some scholarships are need-based, some are merit-based; others are awarded to students studying for a particular degree or are based on student talent.

There will be two $500 scholarships for part-time students who will be enrolled in at least two business courses per semester during both the Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 semesters at USF.
