Fine print. Read it carefully. More and more private universities require that you pay back grants (including scholarships) if you leave before finishing your degree. They do this to discourage exactly what UCBUSCalum describes. They would probably lose a court challenge trying to force you to comply, but they CAN withhold transcript services.

Transfer students receive need-based aid on the same terms as incoming freshmen. Scholarships, however, are harder to get as a transfer since most recipients are identified as freshmen. So, maybe, attend a SoCal CC, get some GEs and foreign language out of the way, and save money to finish up at USC.
