University of Southern California

Every year since 1932, the USC Alumni Association has honored a select group of prestigious alumni for their professional achievements and outstanding service to the University and community at the Alumni Awards gala.

On Saturday, April 18, 2026, we will welcome alumni, family, and friends to the 92nd Annual USC Alumni Awards to once again celebrate the best of our Trojan Family.

This year’s Alumni Awards is a collective investment in the Trojan community. Together, we aim to raise $1 million to support alumni programs that build lifelong connection and fund student scholarships that open doors for future Trojans. Your support honors alumni who lead and serve, while helping shape the future of Trojan excellence.
