Have you already contacted NM and selected USC as your #1? If so, USC will send you information soon about the scholarships. You will get a letter that asks for you to sign if you are accepting the scholarships and you will need to return that to USC (there is a deadline on this, so read carefully and return promptly).

This is how it worked LAST year at least.

If you do not hear from USC in a couple of weeks and you had already selected USC as your #1, then contact USC and ask.

If you haven’t selected USC, do it now. I’m not sure how long it will take for USC to know this and process it. D selected USC as soon as NM offered selection because it was the only school she applied to that offered merit money for NMF.

No matter what, though, as a NMF and admitted student, as long as you contact NM by 5/1, you will get the USC NMF Presidential if you follow directions. Congratulations!
