Does anyone know what the stats for the transfer merit scholarships were for last year? Or has anyone received the scholarship for this upcoming year?
Thanks!
They give out 40 scholarships of 1/4 tuition. Not all that receive them attend USC so less than that.
@blueskies2day Do they take financial need into consideration for those scholarships?
I actually just found the scholarship info: admission.usc.edu/docs/Scholarships.pdf
They say that they notify applicants by June 1. Does that mean that if you’re accepted after June 1 that you’re not considered?
Scholarships consideration is totally different than need, so financial need is not considered for merit. I think it is safe to assume if you don’t get scholarship by June 1st, getting one is highly unlikely. Using common sense instead of known facts - if you are that desirable of a transfer, in terms of being worthy to get one of the very rare 1/4 tuition awards - you are more likely accepted earlier because you are such a stand out, and an SGR is not likely needed (who tend to find out later). Make sense? So I would want to hear when they say they are going out and not plan on any later.
Thanks everyone! Do you guys also know if transfer year/number of credits play a large role in receiving the scholarship?
@CADREAMIN do you know how scholarship recipients are notified?
