<p>My daughter is a senior now, (also oos), so I don’t know if the criteria and attitude has changed but at the time is seemed USC was generous to OOS aplicants. My daughter received the Woodrow scholarship which is $500.00 per year. However on top of that comes reduced tuition, not all the way to instate but a substantial amount. Once you are in then you apply each year for scholarships to the department of your major. I suggest you apply early admission. It worked for her. She had her application in by October 1st and was accepted by the end of the month. Unfortunately you don’t get the scholarship letter until February, at least that her experience. Good luck to you.</p>
