This post is for the parents who qualify for the tuition exchange program and are interested in USC (@Dolemite). I just want to put up the final numbers on our unique experience/situation so that it will help those few families who may end up in a similarly fortunate circumstance. We owe CC a lot for many helpful advice and tips.
My S will be attending USC in the fall and we are very grateful to USC for making it very affordable for our family. So in the end, the USC will provide, a total of $62,442 per year ($59,442 (see above post) + $1,000 (NMC scholarship) + $2,000 University scholarship (this was added on after we uploaded our financial information (tax return, W-2). We weren’t expecting any additional money after uploading our FA forms since we probably don’t qualify for any need-based aid (I only did it since it was requested by the school). We were very surprised by the $2,000 University Scholarship since we were not anticipating any other scholarships from USC. We are just very grateful to USC.
Fight On!
