<p>Is it possible to receive both the National Merit College Sponsored scholarship for half tuition, as well as the Presidential Scholarship from USC? Thus, this would cover full tuition. Is this how it works?</p>
<p>No- you cannot combine the two scholarships. It is one or the other. BTW–National Merit is not paying for the half tuition NM Presidential at USC-- USC is. </p>
<p>True, True, True. I called USC to ask specifically about this also just to make sure.</p>
<p>The NMScholarship also includes a $1000 per year NMFoundation Scholarship. In some cases students may receive smaller merit scholarships from the particular school such as Marshall or Viterbi. </p>
