Can someone explain to me the scholarship USC deadline?

<p>I know Mon. is the USC scholarship application deadline, but could someone explain to me exactly what that is? I had been intending to apply for USC, but my application is nowhere near done, nor do I have a rec. letter. Is this deadline that big of a deal that I might as well not apply? Or is it something small?</p>

<p>If it's huge and it's suggested that I don't apply, I'll be over it, I'm just curious and no one has told me a surefire answer yet.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>all it means is that if you apply to usc after dec. 10th, u will not get any scholarship. If you apply before dec. 10th, you might get a scholarship, but you are not guarenteed one</p>
