"I wanted to be a part of an institution where I would both receive a high level of individual instruction across all disciplines and be exposed to a new and diverse group of people. When an institution with that perfect mix of opportunities and the benefactors who support it also offer the best financial support available anywhere in the country, my decision became clear. And here I am. I am a Screamin’ Eagle!" - Sam Barnett '14

"When coming to interview for the Presidential Scholarship program, I was given a tour around campus, and told everything USI had to offer. I was still not convinced until I sat down for a meeting with the Dean of the Romain College of Business. A few weeks earlier, I had attended an open house of sorts at another school and felt completely overwhelmed by the number of students in attendance. However, at USI, I was given a personal meeting with Dean Khayum, and then I started to really understand exactly how my experience at USI would be different than attending another school. I realized that USI would give me the opportunity to build close, meaningful relationships with my professors and classmates, and become an active participant in my campus community." - Sarah Krampe '14
