The thing is, international students are not eligible for financial aid.
http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa/applying_receiving/international/
Intl students can only receive:
- Merit aid
- Limited work opportunities (non-fed. work study) -not truly aid
- Non-federal loans -again, not aid
Sooo, no financial aid.
My theory: In a way, providing airfare assistance to an intl. student would be the same as providing them with financial aid -which they don’t qualify for. Thus, USC offers airfare aid only to domestic students.
Not taking any sides, just stating facts.
