Financial Aid for Health Sciences Students

Pursuing an advanced degree represents a significant investment of time and resources. The USC Financial Aid Office is your partner in managing your investment, navigating the process and planning for the future.

Scholarships, assistantships and fellowships are awarded to students based on academic performance and/or financial need.

Several low-interest, long-term federal, university and private loan programs are available to eligible students.

If your financial aid summary includes Federal Work-Study, you may be eligible to work, typically in an on-campus job, to earn those funds. However, due to the demanding nature of some Health Sciences programs, some students are discouraged from accepting employment during the academic year.
