Merit Scholarship Question

<p>Does anyone know if a student was ever bumped up from a scholarship after their notification? What happens if a student rejects an offer, are these offered to other students or just left unused. I received 1/4 scholarship and grateful but still will not be able to afford USC where I really want to attend. Any hope of getting bumped to presidential (1/2)
or should I just move on to the more affordable option. Running out of time.</p>

<p>At Explore USC I had dinner with two FAO reps and they stated that USC offer more scholarships than they have available in anticipation of students going else where, so unclaimed scholarships do not get reassigned. Sorry, D received Deans scholarship as well and we too could really use a bump up.</p>

<p>Best of luck, you will find the right school for you.</p>
