<p>Yes, alamemom is always right. My son (SCA) received the Trustee. We are terribly grateful literally every day. 
</p>
<p>I’ll just mention that in his year, there was one other Trustee hopeful attending the same ExploreUSC interview weekend in his specific major, and maybe 11 others there to interview in other SCA majors. Since there was another weekend for Trustee interviews, I’m not sure what the total number of candidates may have been for the 5 undergrad majors in SCA. The other student in my son’s major ended up receiving the Presidential (along with another outside merit award) and is currently attending USC. I must say this is an exceptional student with a lot of talent and I’m sure these decisions are brutally hard to make. </p>
<p>In answer to compton, last year about 20,000 applications were submitted to USC before the scholarship deadline.</p>
