This cannot be said often enough - I do not want anyone to misunderstand and be terribly disappointed: NMSF/NMF are NOT guaranteed admission at USC regardless of when they submit their application.</p>
<p>As I stated above, interviews are NOT required for the 1/2 tuition NMF Presidential Scholarship - please see the criteria listed in my post above.</p>
<p>Again, scholarship interview invitations are not issued simply because an applicant may be a NMSF/NMF. Many NMSF receive scholarship invitations, but that is coincidental to their status as NMSF/NMF. To emphasize, colleges have not yet been notified of NMF status, so there is no way that invitations could be based on that anyway.</p>
<p>As mentioned above, NMSF are not automatically invited to interview. No interview is required for the NMF 1/2 tuition Presidential Scholarship. Admission is NOT guaranteed.</p>
<p>Yes, NMF accepted in March who meet the OTHER criteria (see above) are awarded the scholarship.</p>
<p>(If anyone thinks they can make this more clear, please jump in - I do not seem to be making headway
