<p>Hi FutureENT,</p>
<p>USC uses their own formula to determine need, so I cannot estimate how much you will get. See this thread for information on the Stafford loans and Federal work/study that is inclduded in all need-based packages <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/839970-faq-usc-financial-aid-2010-a.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/839970-faq-usc-financial-aid-2010-a.html</a> . </p>
<p>I do not know what will be in your package, but some students do receive need-based grants in the amounts you mention.</p>
