<p>Just curious - if I don't apply for financial aid (with the FAFSA and whatnot) as a freshman and I am accepted, can I apply for financial aid as a sophomore? Or is it pretty much you have to apply as a freshman and keep whatever you get all four years. Thanks</p>
<p>You have to reapply every year for financial aid so you'd be able to get aid your sophomore year. However, I suggest you apply for aid because USC is quite generous with grants even if you didn't receive grants from federal or state</p>
