USF values the loyalty of its large alumni network. Alumni are the best recruiters, after having been St. Francis students themselves and knowing, firsthand, all the good things they experienced as Saints.

That said, we’ve established an alumni referral program to thank our alumsfor their ongoing support. If a graduate student applicant is referred by a USF alum and the student is accepted and enrolls in classes at USF, the student and the referring alum will each receive a $50 Amazon gift card.

When applying at stfrancis.edu/apply, the applicant should list your name and email address where prompted. Both of you will receive gift cards once the applicant has been accepted and has enrolled in classes.

Alumni receive FREE admission to all athletic games hosted by USF!
