EnglishWhere Prospective Students Find USI Admission, Tuition, and Scholarship Information
Updated
Prospective students can find USI admission steps, tuition and fees, and scholarships and aid through three separate areas of the usi.edu homepage: the Admission Process link, the Tuition & Fees link, and the Scholarships & Aid link. All three appear in the homepage's link groups, and the homepage also offers Request Info, Visit, and Apply as direct action buttons. Use this guide if you are researching USI as a future undergraduate, graduate, transfer, adult/online, or international student and want to know which entry point answers which question.
Start with your audience type
The homepage opens with a "Select Your Audience Type" prompt that asks what brings you to USI today. The options listed are:
- I'm thinking about USI
- I'm already a student here
- I work at USI
- I'm an alum or from the community
- I'm here for my kid/family
Choosing "I'm thinking about USI" leads to a second question about which path fits you best: Undergraduate, Graduate, Transfer, Adult Learning & Online, or International. This matters because admission requirements, deadlines, and aid options differ by path, so pick your path first and then follow the links below within that context.
Where each piece of information lives
| What you need | Where to go on usi.edu | What you'll find |
|---|---|---|
| Application steps and requirements | Admission Process | The sequence for applying, organized by the audience path you selected |
| Cost of attendance | Tuition & Fees | Tuition and fee information |
| Grants, scholarships, and financial help | Scholarships & Aid | Scholarship and aid resources |
| Questions before applying | Request Info | A form to ask USI for details |
| Campus visit | Visit | Visit scheduling |
| Starting the application | Apply | The application entry point |
The homepage also surfaces Explore Programs (with a search box labeled "Find your program — Start typing to search for academic programs"), Career Readiness, Student Resources, and Professional Development in its spotlight and footer link groups. If you are still choosing a major, use Explore Programs before you move on to admission and cost.
A practical order for prospective students
- Confirm your path. Use the audience selector and choose Undergraduate, Graduate, Transfer, Adult Learning & Online, or International. Everything else depends on this choice.
- Check the program exists and fits. Use Explore Programs and search by keyword.
- Read Admission Process. Note the steps and any materials it lists for your path.
- Check Tuition & Fees so you know the cost side before looking at aid.
- Review Scholarships & Aid to see what funding options apply to you.
- Take an action. Use Request Info if you have unanswered questions, Visit to see campus, or Apply when you are ready.
Common sticking points
- Skipping the audience selector. The homepage explicitly asks you to personalize your experience; the admission and aid content you see is tied to the path you pick. If a page seems to be missing your situation, go back and reselect your audience type.
- Looking for costs on the admission page. Tuition and fees are a separate link (Tuition & Fees), and aid is separate again (Scholarships & Aid). Expect to visit all three.
- Assuming the homepage answers everything. The homepage is a navigation hub. It points to the Admission Process, Tuition & Fees, and Scholarships & Aid pages rather than containing their full detail, so follow the links.
- International and adult/online applicants using undergraduate instructions. These are listed as distinct paths, so start from your own path rather than the general undergraduate route.
The homepage does not publish specific tuition amounts, deadlines, or scholarship criteria in the content available here; those details sit on the linked pages. Use Request Info if a linked page does not resolve your question.
