Financial Aid
A USP education is an investment that yields countless benefits
over a lifetime. At USP we do all we can to make this investment
affordable for qualified students. Approximately 95 percent of students
receive some form of financial aid to help cover the cost of tuition
at USP.
The financial aid program of the University of the Sciences in
Philadelphia provides assistance in the form of scholarships,
grants, loans, and part-time employment for students whose resources
are insufficient to meet the cost of education. The financial aid
staff reviews all applications and awards assistance in the forms
and amounts most appropriate to the needs of the student based on
his or her financial need. This website will describe the processes
used to determine financial need, the
application procedures, the University
policies on financial assistance, and the types
of financial aid available.
If you have applied for admission, we suggest that you submit the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form so you can
be considered for financial assistance. To be considered for any
type of financial aid, the FAFSA must be completed. The FAFSA may
be completed online (visit www.fafsa.ed.gov).
Alternately, to request a paper FAFSA (to apply by mail) call (800)
4FED-AID, and press "0" for a customer service representative.
For more information, contact the USP Financial Aid Office, (215)
596-8894.
