Horrible USC Financial Aid Package

Hi all,

USC is my top choice, and I was ecstatic to have gotten in, but I don’t think my parents will be able to pay for it. I have a FAFSA EFC of 25797, and my parents’ adjusted gross income on their 2009 return is 57000.

USC only listed a “University Scholarship” of 2000 each semester, totaling 4000 year. I would have to come up with 51,000. I received no grants, federal loan offers, or work study.

Are they good about giving out more money? I am saddened if my decision to attend ultimately came down to money.
