Scholarship

Welcome to the scholarship page for the USC Alumni Club of West LA! We have worked hard to develop a mission statement that addresses the needs of our community and work to provide awards for students with the following thought in mind:

The USC Alumni Club of West Los Angeles is an organization that promotes an active and engaged Trojan Network whose purpose is to connect local alumni while developing professional, philanthropic, and social relationships with a focus on continually building a scholarship fund for the next generation of Trojan Alumni.

On behalf of the board members and the Club, I encourage you to apply for our scholarships—we have a holistic review process and recognize that there are many ways for individuals to contribute to our campus.

2011-2012 USC Alumni Association Scholarship applications are due December 1st! Please click here for the application. To apply for our scholarship click Alumni Club Scholarship and then select Los Angeles-Westside. Good luck!

Should you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at scholarship@westlatrojans.com.
