The Scholarship Timeline
Matty asked: When exactly will USC send out scholarship notifications? Here is the deal. We still have many applications yet to review, which will take the admissions office a few more weeks to complete. Once we have given all our applicants that met our December 1 deadline a fair and thorough review, then we will send our our big round of admission acceptances. Once that is done, we will make scholarship determinations based on the overall competitiveness of the class. Each year as the quality of the freshman class improves (based on grades and test scores) we adjust the scholarship awarding criteria as appropriate.
Our goal is to have all admissions decisions on their way by the first week in March. Within that same time frame we will send our our final round of offers to the South Carolina Honors College, invitations to be in the Capstone Scholars program, and our institutional scholarship offers.
Matty, I know you and everyone else is anxiously awaiting to hear about scholarships. Be on the lookout for notices to arrive in early March, and thank-you for the question...and your patience!
