<p>As I have been saying for several days now and on several threads, please hold off on ranting until you have your complete package. USC will send an email when your package is ready to view. The Financial Aid FAQ is getting all muddled up with panicked rants. Only questions from those who have received an email saying their package is ready will be addressed. </p>
<p>Thank you. My head hurts.</p>
<p>*Please bump and link this as this question keeps appearing</p>
<p>I haven’t heard from any NMS yet, but that scholarship sometimes isn’t in the initial package. If yours is missing and you HAVE received an email saying your package is ready, double-check that you have listed USC as your first-choice and then give USC a call to mention that you are NMS and ask if there is anything they need from you to get your scholarship posted. The extra $1,000 from NMC takes much longer to appear and might not show up until August.</p>
<p>As everyone rises on this beatiful Saturday and notices talk of financial aid packages, PLEASE remember that if you haven’t received an email saying your package is ready, you are just seeing bits and pieces. Hold off on panicking (and ranting) until USC notifies you that the package is ready to view - which might not be until the beginning of next week.</p>
<p>Remember, they are assembling over 4,800 freshman aid packages and everything has to be entered by actual humans!!! </p>
<p>Patience!</p>
<p>Alamemom, my son’s FA package shows the Presidential-NMF and the $1000 scholarship. He did declare USC as his #1 when he sent in his Semi-finalist paperwork though. If USC is not on record as your #1, you won’t see it until it is.</p>
<p>Sorry for the additional stupid question. But if D gets zero…then we’ll probably need to inquire further…we’re on the financial borderline of making this work. Just don’t want to wait too long to inquire of the financial aid office, and to the major.</p>
<p>Mitchkreyben, we haven’t received an email yet, but the package looks complete. I assume you will get an email regardless. We got one from another school when we qualified for no financial aid. But they did offer $5500 in unsubsidized loans to my son.</p>
