No, scholarships do not get re-awarded.
In past years National Merit Scholars were often awarded smaller $3000. - $6000 alumni or university scholarships in addition to the half tuition amount. These are usually given by the particular school such as Viterbi, Marshall or Annenberg.
I think they forgot about meā¦ :))
Hang in there @bigchoices2018 Hopefully the old saying āgood things comes to those who waitā applies here.
DD awarded presidential that was originally offered. Bit anticlimactic as nmf ensured this anyway.
So my question is since DD has a nmf corporate scholarship for $4000, which just adds on, right?
Fifty percent is nice but still along ways from making usc afordable with two younger syblings in private school.
@marylousquires, any news? @bigchoices2018? @MrReshokar? @hafamama? @singaporeseeker Any news?
@sekere62, congrats on your D getting the Presidential. I hear you about the overall cost. Maybe FA will come through for you on 3/27?
Nothing!!!
Meaning no update not no scholarship
@bigchoices2018, sorry to hear that itās taking so long. It would drive me bonkers. Almost did at 1:30am this morning!
When we were at the Explore dinner, an AO told us that every candidate would get something. Sorry itās taking so long to update everyoneās portals. Hope they all update soon.
@Nomorelurker we havenāt heard anything
@āGeorgia Girlā do you know when the extra national merit add in will be awarded? I applied Dornsife and havenāt gotten anything Super bummed I was downgraded from trustees 
@Nomorelurker No news yet, been refreshing my YouSC page for the millionth time. I guess itāll be a bit fine cuz itās 8:30pm over here and theyāre about to show football matches real soon, and Iāll have something to take my mind off it
I donāt believe that everyone gets something. The numbers donāt add up, unless they do the $500 token scholarship kind of thing which I havenāt heard of.
Anyone else still waiting?
Still waiting
ggO810,
For admitted NMS students: (Upon Enrollment)
After placing SC first for National Merit you will receive one half tuition from SC
You will receive $1000 per year from NM when that option is chosen
Possible smaller scholarship from particular school
Any financial aid, if your family applied
Each year there may be changes in notification dates. You should be notified soon.
Best of luck. I hope you can manage this financially!
Keep in mind SC is giving you over $100,000+ in the NM
Scholarship.
Still waiting too. Interviewed for Trusteeā¦not feeling optimistic at this point.
@JohnGaltIII - Who is John Galt? This forum is not the place for sanctimony. Or crankiness. The anxiety is real and understandable to most people and this forum is one way to connect with fellow applicants and learn from the collective group experience. But perhaps you are just having a bad day, and I can empathize with that: S was waitlisted at Northwestern. Iām going on the Northwestern forum to complain about the complainers over there.
@HankReardon loved atlas shrugged!
