Undergraduate Scholarships
First-time undergraduate students are eligible to apply for two scholarships that are reduced from our annual tuition fee of $12,942: the Coyote Beginnings Scholarship and the Coyote Beginnings Grant. The Coyote Beginnings Scholarship is automatically awarded to first-time freshman applicants students at the time of admission, with a value of up to $4,000 per year based on high school GPA. The Coyote Beginnings Grant is automatically awarded to first-time freshman who have a qualifying SAT or ACT score. This award is valued between $1,500 to $2,500 per year and may be stacked on top of the Coyote Beginnings Scholarship. Students who receive the high end of both awards would achieve the equivalent of a half-tuition scholarship.
Transfer students who currently study at a US community college or university are eligible to receive the International Transfer Scholarship. Students with an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher at a US college or university are automatically awarded $3,000 per year for the remainder of their undergraduate studies at USD.
