Apply for Alumni, Legacy Scholarships; New Arts Scholarship Created

Scholarships are an essential asset for University of San Diego students and it’s a good reminder that applications for USD alumni and class legacy scholarships are being accepted up until the Feb. 25, 2019 deadline.

Sponsored by the USD Alumni Association, USD alumni donors and all students who’ve made a G.I.F.T. to their Class Legacy Scholarship, there are six scholarships available — some specifically for undergraduate students and some that are open to graduate students.

The six scholarships are: the Alumni Endowed Scholarship, which is open to graduate and undergraduate students; the Daniel L. Burkett Memorial Scholarship, which is open to undergraduate students who are active members of social fraternities and sororities; the Comité México Scholarship, which awards graduate and undergraduate students with Mexican or Mexican-American heritage; the Kyle O’Connell Memorial Scholarship, which is open to graduate and undergraduate students who have majors in the sciences, nursing or counseling; the Therese Whitcomb ’53 Scholarship, which is open to undergraduate students, especially transfer students; and the Class Legacy Scholarship, which is open to graduate and undergraduate students, and even graduating seniors.
