<p>"Do they ever post the GPA, test scores of the scholarship winners? "
No </p>

<p>the USC 1/2 tuition National Merit award is based strictly on being named a NMSF , which is based on PSAT scores. The student also has to be accepted at USC, of course, which is not a given for NMSF’s but their acceptance rate is higher than the overall rate. </p>
<p>The Full Tuition + scholarships are awarded holistically after the applicants are interviewed. The students awarded those scholarships are generally among those with the highest test scores. But hi test scores only open the door- the interview seals the deal.</p>
