More than one merit scholarship?

<p>My son was recently accepted (1/29) to USC. Based on what I have read here on CC, we had hoped that he would be interviewed for Trustee/Presidential scholarship. Today (2/6) he received a letter telling him that he is getting a Deans scholarship (1/4 tuition). Although we are certainly happy, I was a bit surprised that he was not considered for the bigger awards, as his best friend is being considered for Trustee, and my son's stats are higher than his.</p>

<p>The only reason I could think of is that my son (if he attends) will be a 5th generation USC legacy. Is it possible that he may be in line to receive another scholarship (such as Half Century) as well as Deans?</p>

<p>Does anyone know if USC ever awards more than one merit scholarship to a student?</p>

<p>Thanks for any information!</p>

<p>ProudDadofTwo, yes a student can have more than one merit scholarship. However, he would have to have applied for a number of them. For example, since your son is a legacy, did he apply for the Scions? Others are various Alumni and Trojan League scholarships. I am not familiar with the Half Century though. I hope your son is in line for that one, 5th generation is impressive!</p>

<p>Thanks for the information, Sequoia. I know for certain he applied for Scions and Alumni. I will ask him what others he applied for.</p>
