here is what it says and may explain why some people didn’t get it??
“ We encourage you to proceed with our application if you feel you meet the following eligibility requirements. You must:
Have applied for USC admission for fall 2021 as a transfer student.
Have high financial need (usually defined as having a need greater than or equal to the cost of tuition; to be determined by the USC Financial Aid Office).
Be eligible for financial aid. To receive financial aid, students must be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens and complete a FAFSA or Dream Act Application.
It does not mean anything more than an indicator recipients of the email applied for need-based aid (and may need significant aid) or are first gen applicants.
maybe it’s coming out in batches, just wait, this doesn’t mean anything because i ended up getting rejected as a first year applicant last year after receiving it😭
Np, in fact I think u did quite the opposite. Till now we didn’t get any info but the fact they sent these emails out today may* be an indicator some decisions will be releasing soon, as speculated by others. Thx for keeping us posted
Awh I try to be a good team player… i was always like this, even in the military… i always believed that one should always leave breadcrumbs for others that are following or will be following later to make it easier for people to succeed
The purpose of the NTSAF is to assist students with high financial need who demonstrate an extraordinary level of community awareness in their pursuit of higher education at USC. First-generation college students and local area applicants are given primary consideration in the scholarship selection process. However, the scholarship is not limited to these populations.
Eligibility Checklist:
If you answer “yes” to all three questions, we encourage you to proceed with the Topping Scholarship Application Instructions below:
Are you applying for USC admission for Fall as a full-time freshman, transfer or graduate student, or are you a new Spring admit?
Do you have high financial need (expected family contribution less than $20,000) and will submit a FAFSA or Dream Act application?
Do you demonstrate a strong community awareness and contribute to the betterment of a community through volunteer efforts or other service?
Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened to me last year. I got a SGR- spring grade request, which I submitted the first week of June. I did not hear back until July 11th and it was a denial, ugh!
USC has the longest and most painful wait period for transfer admission decisions. But hey, it’s USC, we will all wait…
