Does USC usually vastly undermeet demonstrated need?

<p>Posted this question in the financial aid FAQ thread, but I’ll ask here as well:</p>

<p>How do I know if my financial aid package is complete? I’ve gotten two emails from the financial aid office, one saying my award was updated (like in stbentia’s post), and another notifying me of a university scholarship. I haven’t received a Financial Aid Summary letter.</p>

<p>I’m just trying not to freak out if the award isn’t complete—the university scholarship and unsubsidized Stafford loan currently listed online aren’t going to be enough to afford SC, in combination with our savings, according to my parents. I’ve been exploring other sources of funding, obviously, but they sometimes feel like a drop in the ocean of the ~$50K EFC currently shown online.</p>
