University of South Florida

University of South Florida serves students across a wide span of academic levels and credentials, with opportunities that reach undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students as well as learners pursuing professional certification, associate, bachelor’s, graduate, and Ph.D. pathways. The institution’s scholarship activity shows a university that supports both full-time and part-time enrollment and uses targeted aid to recognize student background, campus involvement, and field of study.

Its scholarship portfolio reflects several distinct priorities. The Father Richard Cressman Endowed Scholarship supports students attending the University of South Florida and gives first preference to graduates of Cristo Rey High School in Tampa, Florida, followed by graduates of any Cristo Rey Network school. That structure ties the university’s support to a specific Tampa educational community while also extending consideration to a broader network of schools. The scholarship opens on 12/1/2025, closes on 5/16/2026, and carries an award amount of up to $1,000.
