<p>Loans are not mandatory. If you do not want your Stafford loans, do not fill out your Stafford loan request. If you want less than the amount you have been offered, fill out your loan request for the amount you want. If you find you need the full amount later in the semester you can request the remainder then. <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa//loans/stafford.html”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa//loans/stafford.html</a></p>
<p>All scholarships must be reported regardless of when they are awarded. </p>
