USC Merit Scholarship Acceptances

When will they release acceptances for the merit scholarships? The deadline to apply was December 1st and I just wanted to know when acceptances will be mailed out. Someone at my school said she already got accepted with a quarter scholarship but I wasn’t sure if it was true. :open_mouth:

I know acceptances usually come out late Jan ish. My sister got a full scholarship and she got her acceptance on Jan 20…
Also, after you submitted your app on Dec 1, did you get an email from USC saying that admission decisions will be out on April? I’m just a bit paranoid now because I know that as long as you submit before Dec 1 then you’re considered for the scholarship but the email doesn’t say anything about it :confused:

Last week of January

How many quarter tuition scholarships do they give out in this early round versus later.

Is it possible to be admitted in the next few weeks but then given the scholarship later in April?

@wmarcussen1‌ No. You’re only considered if you submitted early, and you’re only admitted early if you got a scholarship (athletes being exceptions, naturally). The only ones capable of getting scholarships afterwards are NMFs who (i’m pretty sure) get 1/4 scholarships automatically

NMFs get 1/2 tuition, and smaller scholarships may be given out at a later date. You should be getting your notification early February this year. Please post on the USC board for more accurate information!

(And no one but athletes should have been accepted with scholarships yet)

I know acceptances have been around January 20th last year. When are we expecting them this year?

Anyone have any clues or ideas when we might get them?

I am an international student and I just got the scholarship letter mailed to me yesterday!
