Refer a Student to USD’s Knauss School of Business
Give a $5,000 Scholarship to a Friend for Graduate School
The Knauss School of Business at USD is dedicated to attracting high-quality, driven students to our graduate programs. We believe that current and former members of our community are well-suited to identify candidates who will enhance our Knauss student community and alumni network.
To support this, we are offering a scholarship to new students referred by USD alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends of USD. Upon acceptance, these students will receive a $5,000 scholarship to be applied toward their program.
