Information for School Counselors

We share the same aspirations for our students as you share for those you counsel—we want to help them achieve the highest goals possible. Each student is distinctive and your time is short. So we’ve provided this website to help you identify those students that might be the best fit for USF and to talk to them about the options available at an unforgettable university.
