<p>We were looking at the USConnect Portal. Our son got his letter for the Presidential Award. However nothing shows up under USC FAST. He did not apply for FA. We had assumed merit awards would also be displayed under FAST. However all we see is the following</p>
<p>"We have not received any application documents for federal or USC need-based financial aid programs. </p>
<p>To initiate an application for federal or USC need-based financial aid, please submit a FAFSA. We will notify you if any additional documents are required. </p>
<p>If you wish to be considered for only a Federal Parent PLUS Direct Loan, please submit a FAFSA and complete an Enrollment & Housing Form. </p>
<p>If you are not applying for financial aid but are expecting to receive a scholarship, please direct any questions to the department or organization issuing the scholarship."</p>
<p>Is this correct? </p>
