The Environmental Studies Program awards several merit-based scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students at USC who are pursuing a course of study directly related to the natural environment through two programs, Environmental Studies Scholarships for Excellence and the Environmental Studies Hugo R. Santora Scholarship for International Students. The former is divided into the Mrs. Anita B. Wilson Scholarship for Environmental Studies and the John and Alice Tyler Environmental Scholarship.

Students with at least an overall GPA of 3.30 may apply. Scholarships are renewable on an annual basis. All applicants must submit, along with the application form, a copy of their current transcript, two letters of recommendation, a one page resume.  The resume should include, among other things, a list of honors, awards, and scholarships received (if any), a list of extra-curricular activities (if any), and whether you have been involved in a research project with a professor.
