<p>Thanks @alamemon! We saw lots of varied postings, including yours, so we went with the information posted on the USC website, which says all merit scholarship recipients will be notified by 4/1/14: <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/firstyear/prospective/scholarships.html”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/firstyear/prospective/scholarships.html</a>. It was a nice surprise on 4/7/14, but it is a long time to wait. Hopefully USC can start including FA packages with admission packets sometime in the near future, or at least change what is posted on their website! ;-)</p>
