<p>Has anyone received any information on departmental scholarships? My D is hoping for something from the Nursing School. The folks in admissions said they know nothing about these scholarships as they come directly from each department.</p>
<p>In the past departmental scholarships were given to students AFTER they had accepted a spot at USC rather than before and were not used as an additional enticement to attend.</p>
<p>That said, we have see at least one example this year where a student received the offer before accepting but that department also has a new Dean and they are working hard to build the department.</p>
<p>you can scan the department website to see if they talk about their own scholarships.some departments send a letter inviting applications. otherwise you can call the dept and see what they have available and what their process is for applying ( ie: is it by invite only, can anyone apply).In S’s dep’t the scholarship budget is controlled by the College his dep’t is housed in…so I would imagine the College of Nursing controls its own scholarships.</p>
