USC Scholar Distinctions
USC Discovery Scholars, Global Scholars, and Renaissance Scholars are academic honors awarded upon graduation that recognize graduating seniors who meet the criteria. Interested USC undergraduates may apply and receive the distinction(s), which is confirmed upon commencement. Scholars receive a medallion to wear at graduation and have their distinction noted on their final transcript from the University. Seniors can earn more than one distinction but must meet the criteria for each individually.
Distinction recipients may also be eligible to participate in the Prize Competition (see below) for a monetary award.
Discovery Scholar Distinction
Recognizes undergraduates who excel academically and make meaningful contributions through exceptional research or creative work, demonstrating promise for future scholarship or artistic achievement.
Global Scholar Distinction
Honors undergraduates who excel academically and integrate international experiences into their studies, showing a broadened perspective and potential for global leadership.
Steven & Kathryn Sample Renaissance Scholar Distinction
In honor of former University President Steven Sample and his wife Kathryn, this distinction celebrates undergraduates who excel academically across widely divergent fields of study, embodying the creativity and insight that emerge from interdisciplinary learning.
Application Timeline for Graduating Seniors
When to Apply:
- May 2027 and August 2027 graduates: Apply in your final spring semester (Spring 2027)
- Note: Renaissance Scholar Certification must be completed by December, and only students who are certified by then are eligible to apply for the Prize Competition in the spring.
- December 2026 graduates: Apply in the spring semester following graduation (Spring 2027). This is based on the date your degree is officially conferred, not the commencement ceremony.
Follow all specific deadlines and updates listed for each Scholar Distinction application.
Upcoming Deadlines for Submissions
Scholar Distinction Prize Competition
Each distinction hosts a Prize Competition and selects ten graduating seniors to receive a $10,000 prize. Students may apply for or be considered for more than one Prize Competition, but can only be awarded one prize.
For Renaissance Scholars, all certified graduating seniors are invited to apply for the Prize Competition. Applying for the Prize is not required to earn the distinction.
For Global and Discovery Scholars, applicants who meet the deadline are first reviewed by their School to determine eligibility for the distinction. The most competitive students from each School are then nominated to a university-wide review panel for final Prize Competition selection. Students who are not selected for the prize will still earn the distinction.
Prize Winners may request funds for up to 5 years (6 for Architecture graduates) after bachelor’s degree completion to fund graduate school anywhere in the U.S. or abroad; and may be able to propose creative projects relevant to career goals. A request may be submitted through Academic Programs after the recipient has enrolled and passed the third week of a graduate program through the fall semester 5 years (6 years for Architecture) post-graduation. Prize award requests cannot go towards funding for pre-graduate school preparatory courses or exam fees, or towards a completed graduate degree.
We encourage all student applicants to consult a tax professional to understand their tax obligations and responsibilities. For international students, please go to this link for additional resources on tax implications provided by the USC Office of International Services.
