<p>will the financial aid cut the costs to about the UC tuition? i really want to go to USC but my dad says it costs way too much</p>
<p>anyone? help?</p>
<p>It is impossible to answer your question as no one has any way of knowing what sort of financial aid you would qualify for. Some people qualify for a lot others for none and then there are those that fall between the 2. There is need based aid for people who have financial need. Merit awards for people with high statistics. it will vary from person to person - one person may qualify for enough need based aid and/or merit awards that the tuition will be greatly reduced - another may qualify for no need aid or merit awards so will pay full ride.</p>
<p>finaid.org is an excellent resource to research financial aid. Run your numbers (income/assets) through a calculator like the one on finaid
<a href=“http://www.finaid.org/calculators/finaidestimate.phtml[/url]”>http://www.finaid.org/calculators/finaidestimate.phtml</a> which will give you an idea of if you will qualify for federal aid. And read up on the schools web site to see if you would qualify for any merit money. Also find out if your State has any aid programs.</p>
<p>You need to tell more about yourself and your stats. USC has great aid, both need based and merit based. (If you are just starting on this, merit based aid means something they give you because of what you have achieved, not because they think you need it.)
Read this part of their website . <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa/[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa/</a> They have some great scholarships if you are a top student.</p>
<p>NMSF? USC just loves high test scores…</p>
