DIRECT ANSWER

This answer preserves school guidance recorded on 2026-09-01. Follow the linked university sources for current requirements, costs and dates.

Usually, if the scholarship's terms allow it and the funds are available for the student's cost of attendance.

USF includes housing and food in its cost-of-attendance framework, and eligible scholarship aid can flow through the student account. The scholarship's own restrictions control whether the award may be used for room and board, so families should review the award terms.
