USC app/scholarship question

Paying for College
1

<p>I noticed that the deadline for Scholarship Consideration is December 01, and I'm not sure if my additional materials will be completed by then. Are the scholarships awarded only the following:</p>

<p>NATIONAL MERIT FINALIST PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIPS
TRUSTEE SCHOLARSHIP
PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIPS
INTERNATIONAL FRESHMAN ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS
JEWISH LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIP
USC ASSOCIATES SCHOLARSHIPS</p>

<p>?</p>

<p>If that's the case, I'll feel more relieved about choosing the January 10 deadline.</p>

<p>The USC website says

You must apply for admission by December 1st to be considered for USC merit scholarships.

</p>

<p>I would take that to mean ALL USC merit scholarships.</p>

<p>You can find a list here: <a href="http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa/private/docs/0809/USCScholarships.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa/private/docs/0809/USCScholarships.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Thank you!
Are letters of recommendation due by December 01 as well?
I can't find it anywhere on their website</p>

<p>Again, from the USC website:

It is your responsibility to ensure that all required application materials are sent to USC by the posted deadlines.

<p>Colleges sometimes give you an unstated grace period of a few days or weeks for certain application materials, like recommendations, when you as a student do not have total control over the submital. I do not know USC's policy regarding late recommendation submitals, but you could call and ask their admissions staff. Regardless, it is best if you meet the deadlines.</p>
