<p>I keep seeing this around and I have no idea what this means. I applied to USC this year, but have yet to receive a letter… What does this mean and what does the letter mean? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Edit: And i did not request aid. Thanks again.</p>
<p>Likely the letter you are referring to is that the person will not be given MERIT presidential (1/2 tuition) or trustee (full tuition). I don’t believe other award letters have been sent by USC.</p>
<p>it’s for those applicats that sent in their applications by december 1st [aka the deadline to be considered for scholarships], but are no longer in the running. i got one about a month & a half ago.</p>
<p>HImom is right, the letter should be stating that the you are not in the running for the two big scholarships (trustees and presidential), but I remember mine also states that you might be consider for smaller (merit) scholarship provided by USC</p>
<p>Okay, thank you!</p>
<p>By the way, this letter does NOT affect FAid. Also, you still can get a NMF Presidential 1/2 tuition scholarship and other merit aid, just not the 1/2 tuition regular presidential or full tuition trustee. Some of the FAid and other merit awards are quite generous as well.</p>
<p>My son got that letter also, a few weeks ago. It doesn’t mean you are not being considered for acceptance, right? It just means that you are not being considered for the scholarships??</p>
<p>^correctttt.</p>
