<p>I was wondering what took so long but yeah, just got my packet and acceptance letter today. Probably waited until a certain date to start sending stuff out. When will I know about the basic scholarships for out-of state students? Also what about capstone? Will this information come in the spring?</p>
<p>Congratulations!!!! I don't know about OOS scholarships, but Capstone comes later. You will be automatically issued an invitation to Capstone if you qualify based on scores,etc. Capstone invitation will be a separate letter that comes in the mail.
My son is in-state, but the scholarship info kept trickling in, even up through early summer. His scholarship info did not come as one "package" or letter - but he would get a letter about one scholarship, then later he would get a letter about a different one, etc. Do NOT be alarmed if you initially get a letter from financial aid that says you do not qualify and will not be offered any aid. That is apparently referring only to income-based aid. My son got one of those letters, and initially cancelled his dorm reservation, thinking that was a $0 scholarship package. He did a quick dorm reservation re-instatement the following week when the first scholarship letter came! You will love USC! My son is very happy there. Capstone is a great program also.</p>
