If admitted, National Merit Scholars are eligible for the half tuition scholarships which SC awards. Also given are NMFoundation scholarships in addition of $1,000 per year. You do need to state SC as your first choice university, but that does not have to be until late April after you have studied your other choices and financial packages.

Another plus is your scholarship will “follow” if you decide to study abroad while you are at SC. This is not always the case at other universities.

A recipient must take 32 units per year and maintain a 3.0 GPA or above.

There are hundreds of scholarships for continuing students. If you enroll at SC and shine academically you MAY become eligible to apply for one of these at the end of your freshman year. Use the search function to find my long posts about continuing student scholarships at USC. I have not completed the list for all the various schools.
