International Freshman Academic Scholarship?

<p>Has anyone here on CC received this scholarship, either this year or in previous years? There is very little information about it on the USC website, but does anyone know how many are awarded, who judges applications for these (ie. the school or the university) etc?</p>

<p>Thank you for any information,
sitk,</p>

<p>my son received the International Dean's last year and we didn't find out about it until April. We have no information as to how they select. We also don't understand why it was only 1/4 tuition when the website states that the award is for half tuition.</p>

<p>Are you sure that the International Dean's is the same as a International Freshman Academic Scholarship? Also, did you receive an early acceptance (ie January or February) ?</p>

<p>Are you eligible if you study abroad for a school year? I may go abroad for my junior year, so it would be cool to be eligible for this.</p>

<p>there's no specific eligibility, but there's no application other than the usual application anyway, so sure hawaiiboy15</p>

<p>Yeah I was wondering too because technically not an international student but have lived and studied overseas my entire life, and it doesn't specify whether or not you have to be an international student, just that:

<p>maybe email the USC FA office??</p>

<p>im almost certain being an international student is not a requirement. You just have to have had international experiences, ie. studying and living abroad.</p>

<p>This person got Trustee Scholarship from USC and she is international.

<p>I know you can get Trustee if you are international. I know someone that did. I however didn't get an interview (grades :( ) so trying to figure out how else I can get there xD</p>

<p>beeish was referring to the International Freshman Academic Scholarship, not the trustee</p>

<p>any news?:)</p>

<p>Bump… anybody?</p>
