<p>Hmm… the % with loans? Well, USC packages Stafford subs and unsubs loans with all of their need-based packages, and approximately 60% of students receive need-based aid, so at least 60% are offered loans - though you are under no obligation to accept offered loans. It is also likely many students who do not qualify for need-based aid also make use of loans, so the % is probably higher.</p>
<p>USC need-based financial aid consists of grants, loans and federal work/study.</p>
