ATPS: Associated Trustee & Presidential Scholars

What is the ATPS?

The ATPS, or the Associated Trustee and Presidential Scholars, is the student organization dedicated to serving the academic, intellectual, and social needs of the recipients of Full- and Half-Tuition scholarships at the University of Southern California. Formed by the fusion of the Associated Trustee Scholars and the Associated Presidential Scholars in 2001, this newly merged group now represents over 1,200 of USC's best and brightest. Hailing from Pennsylvania to Florida to right here in Los Angeles, this dynamic group of individuals has collectively contributed much to USC's rise to prominence over the past decade.

How do I join?

The beauty of the ATPS is that there are no membership dues or mandatory meetings. We are simply a forum for scholars on campus to get together and mingle with people that share the same interests. The only requirement to be a member of the organization is that you are currently either a Trustee or Presidential Scholar here at USC. So if you fit the above description, you're already a member! As a member, you can come to our events, volunteer your time to build our community, or even serve on the Executive Board. Your level of involvement is up to you.
