<p>So Collegeboard cites the above as the amount of FA for international students. But the USC website clearly states that they DO NOT give FA to internationals. </p>
<p>What is going on?</p>
<p>Could this be in merit scholarships?</p>
<p>but why put them under Financial Aid? And that is a lot of merit scholarships!</p>
<p>Could it also include “international” students, in other words kids who HAVE US citizenship but have been educated overseas?</p>
<p>“Financial aid” could be need or merit based. Check the definitions that they’re using.</p>
<p>Take a quick look here: [USC</a> Financial Aid - Applying & Receiving Financial Aid - International Students](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa/applying_receiving/international/]USC”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa/applying_receiving/international/)</p>
<p>That tells me that international students can get merit aid.</p>
