Dear Prospective USC Student,

As a 2013-2014 USC applicant, you have a wonderful opportunity to assist in funding your education at USC. The USC Norman Topping Student Aid Fund (NTSAF) is a unique scholarship program that provides tuition assistance, academic development, community service programs, and exceptional funding opportunities to entering USC students.

The purpose of the Fund is to assist students with high financial need who demonstrate an extraordinary level of community awareness in their pursuit of higher education at USC. Initiated by a student referendum in 1970, the NTSAF is the only student-initiated, student-funded and primarily student-administered scholarship in the nation. Applicants residing in areas surrounding the University Park and Health Science campuses, in addition to first-generation college students, are given primary consideration in the selection process. Please note that the scholarship is not limited to these populations.

If you are selected as a USC Topping Scholar, the scholarship will be renewable for the duration of your undergraduate career as long you remain in good standing with the Fund. The amount of the NTSAF award is based on your individual USC financial aid package. The average freshman award is approximately $4,000. Please note the deadline for first-year applicants to submit the online Topping Scholarship application: February 8, 2013

Please visit our website at [USC Norman Topping Student Aid Fund](http://www.usc.edu/ntsaf) for updated program information, current services, and to access the 2013-2014 instructions and online scholarship application. Feel free to contact us at (213) 740-7575 or ntsaf@usc.edu if you have any questions.

We look forward to receiving your USC Topping Scholarship application!

Sincerely,

Christina
