The Epstein Family D.C. Student Experience Scholarship provides the opportunity for USC students to pursue immersive experiences in Washington, D.C., both throughout the regular academic year and over the summer. The fund provides support to students with demonstrated financial need whose curricular and co-curricular interests align with the following priorities:

• Protecting democracy
• Combating antisemitism
• Supporting the lives of Veterans through policy and research

Interested students can apply for the scholarship through Scholarship Universe. Students will be asked to answer the following questions:

• Describe how your study, internship, or experience at the USC Capital Campus aligns with the scholarship’s targeted areas.
• Describe your current financial circumstances and explain how they create a barrier to participating in the immersive Capital Campus experience.

Applications will be open to USC First Semester in D.C. students from April 1 through July 1, 2025.

Applications for Spring 2026 students will open to all students during the Fall semester.
