A small correction to scmom12’s post According to the USC website, the Lieber is $10,000 for in-state students but only $6,000 for out-of-state students (plus in-state tuition, as scmom12 points out.) Precisely, the website says "up to” $10,000/$6,000. I do not know for sure what “up to” means, but I have a theory:

The Lieber is “stackable” onto other USC scholarships. I suspect that the “up to” qualification has been added to make sure that no student’s total scholarship award is greater than the cost of attendance. P.S., to anyone from USC who happens to be reading this post:

It would be helpful if USC would join the discussions, as appropriate. There are schools that do this, such as the “other Carolina” – UNC-Chapel Hill. For example, UNC-Chapel Hill jumps in to squelch untrue rumors, which are particularly rampant around the time of admission notification.
