Jewish Leadership Scholarship

Hi! I haven’t seen many recent discussions on this but I wanted a space to discuss the Jewish Leadership Scholarship at USC. I already applied but I was wondering if anyone knew when we might be notified about this scholarship. Some people say it comes by early February while others say that people are notified in April. Also, does anyone know if this is an interview based scholarship? If so, wouldn’t we be notified earlier to allow time to plan a trip to California? I checked the website and the notification date is listed as April 1 but so are the major merit scholarships that I am positive notifications are sent out for in late January. Any and all information/tips would be appreciated!

okay so since writing this I have done a lot of research and I think I can answer my own questions so I will publicly in case anyone else was wondering! The notification date for the Jewish Leadership scholarship is “by April 1,” like several other minor scholarships. However if you applied by the December 1 deadline you will receive “some communication” from USC by the end of February about the major scholarships. The JL scholarship does not require an interview as only students that are accepted are considered for the scholarship.

Is the scholarship due by December? I was looking at it but didn’t want to apply till after I saw the decisions. What’s the deadline again?
