<p>I was accepted on Jan 26 last year and a week later I got a letter inviting me to interview for the Trustee scholarship. All interviews are at USC. It’s a 2 day program. USC will pay for half of your airfair, up to $200, and you are housed with a student during the program. There are discounted rates at the Radison for family members who may accompany the student. You are only housed with the USC student, typically a freshman in the freshman dorms, for the one night of the program, which is the night before your interview. Not the best system, considering you’re sleeping on the floor in a loud dorm the night before an interview that could possibly land you a HUGE scholarship, but it works somehow.</p>
