So I was interviewed for the Presidential Scholarship in Early March. I don’t recall hearing a date at which we would be notified if we got the Presidential Scholarship or not. About a week ago I learned I got into the World Bachelors in Business program at USC and the program is offering me a 50% Scholarship which, as far as I can understand, is half-tuition.
So with context out of the way, I have three questions:
When does USC notify Presidential Scholarship recipients?
Does the 50% Scholarship from WBB take me out of the running for the Presidential Scholarship?
Where can I check my overall financial aid situation with USC and will that factor in any/all scholarship money I get?
Presidential scholarship (by interview) candidates were already notified. Look at your YouSC page to see your results. The WBB scholarship does not take you out of the running for Presidential, per se, but I am unsure about stacking the two. In other words, even if you were awarded both, USC may require you to only accept one large merit scholarship, so one would replace/negate the other. I hope that’s not the case, but it is normal for USC to disallow stacking of their own institutional merit. Congratulations! At the very least, you received 1/2 tuition x 4 years. And would you post what you find out re: stacking WBB & Pres, please. For future reference.
