<p>To my knowledge and from my experience, being a Legacy doesn’t help one bit with scholarships (except for the SCion scholarship.). As a matter of fact, it may work against you. It is my understanding that USC tends to offer some scholarships to lure the best and brightest that might waiver. If they know you’re a legacy, they don’t need to lure you. Being a legacy may help with admissions, though. That said, financial aid (as opposed to scholarships) is relatively generous. If you have a need, they meet it. Good luck!</p>
