In the past, scholarship notifications for the March acceptances were sent from the first week of April on by mail and email notifications arrive as they are added to your financial aid (the email will say, "a change has been made to your financial aid…). They will show up on your financial aid page (even if you did not apply for financial aid) at about the same time as the financial aid packages are released.

In some cases, scholarships including University scholarships and departmental awards arrive in late April. I am aware of some being posted as late as April 27th, so WAIT* to submit commitment deposits - there is NO advantage to committing early, and an extra scholarship might impact your decision.

I have also seen a few posts about scholarship notifications included in with the admission, but those have been rare (except for the early group invited for scholarship interviews).

Good luck!!!

*You can register for housing without making your commitment deposit - just submit the $40 housing deposit as soon as you get your admission, it is well worth it if you are considering USC.
