<p>Hmmm… that is a good question. You might want to start a new thread with “Norman Topping Scholarship” in the title. The USC Scholarships that are not applied to the self-help portion are the Trustee, Presidential and Dean’s. The Topping Scholarship is specific to USC, but it is student administered and funded, so it may have different rules. Your best bet is to ask students who have received it. Good luck!</p>
