California · Research checked 2026-05-13 · School research, not an aid offer
The starting point
Independent Catholic university near the coast in San Diego with a strong Catholic-student aid hook, but no public stat-to-dollar merit table and an outside-scholarship policy housed in a JavaScript-only knowledge-base article rather than on a crawlable page.
Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.
Awards to discuss
The 1 award in this school's research. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.
University Ministry Scholarship
$5,000 annually · Published amount
Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.
Eligibility: Incoming Catholic students. Confirm eligibility and renewal terms with the Office of Financial Aid before relying on this award in your budget.

Other terms: The only named undergraduate merit award USD publishes a dollar amount for on a publicly crawlable page.

Ask before you decide
- Which entering-year policy and residency category apply to us? What are the admission and scholarship deadlines?
- What grades and credits are required to renew, and for how many terms?
- How would other school awards or outside scholarships change the offer?
