Mission

Since its inception in 1959, the USC Associates has pursued its mission to advance knowledge in the sciences, the humanities and the professions through the financial support of student scholarships, faculty awards and academic programs at the University of Southern California.

Through the enthusiasm, loyalty and leadership of its members, the USC Associates has played a key role in making USC the world-class institution that it is today. For more than 60 years, members have been fostering innovative research, education, art and community service on many vital fronts at USC, while also helping to attract the highest caliber students and faculty. Every year since 2015, the USC Associates has proudly awarded over $1 million in merit-based student scholarships.
