With winter break right around the corner, the USC Bovard Scholars team is working through all the applications submitted over the last month. As we inch closer to the application deadline, which is January 12, 2024, at 5:00 pm PT, we encourage students to submit their application for this unique and invaluable experience. We invite all interested students to apply now. Our application consists of a simple online application and a counselor evaluation form. We highly encourage any students who are in the midst of their application to stick with it! The opportunity is well worth the effort to complete it. We encourage all applicants to request a recommendation through the application today to give their counselor ample time to complete the Counselor Evaluation Form, which is also due the same day as the application — January 12, 2024, at 5:00 pm PT. Remember, if selected, each Bovard Scholar will have one full year of support through the admissions cycle and participate in a summer residency on the USC campus, where they will receive:
Personalized career exploration
Expert admission and financial aid support
Comprehensive test preparation
Leadership development
We offer the program at no cost to students or families. USC will pay for transportation to and from campus for students residing outside of Southern California.
