Mr.TeaRex, well I can't get into the scholarship or financial aid portal with my USC ID.

Anyone having similar problems?

Yep, same issues with accessing this site https://cinema.usc.edu/scholarships/scholarshipOnlineApp.cfm

I am able access the site with my ID. Are you still having issues?

Contacted SCA student services and they fixed the issue, good to go!

 

[AxelBelle]

Still can't get through the portal. I'll have to call them, too.

I replied to the scholarship email they sent on 12/22 and cited the issue. They fixed it within 5 minutes!

 

[Mr.TeaRex]

From camel site I was sent to a you.usc.edu when I inputted my information. I was also able to start the form for the scholarship/financial aid site. Anyone have the same experience with the camel site?

 

[Mr.TeaRex]

has anyone tried using the link I posted? it was used in the past year threads.

 

[Paul J.]

The email I received contained the link that @ThatDude posted. Have not yet logged in. Was a bit worried as they say you have to submit all at once and cannot continue later on - yet the login page only asks for your student pin and select term and then a button "submit" - but I am assuming it is only to log in and not yet submit the application? Since they require a CV and FASFA info. Or was something else needed once inside?

 

[Mr.TeaRex]

@Paul J. thanks for the update. I think you need to submit everything all at once. I need to to the FAFSA before anything. However, this link:

was used in past threads to see if people got in. I applied to Peter Stark before and they found out before the letters went out.

I was able to log on to the camel site but don't know how to get to the scholarship site from there.

 

[Paul J.]

Dunno what the camel site even is? Wasn't the given address in the USC e-mail: https://cinema.usc.edu/scholarships/scholarshipOnlineApp.cfm

Did you do login there @ThatDude ?

I think the camel site is a general hub for applicants. I didn't know about it until reading a previous year's USC MFA thread as I haven't received any correspondence from USC directing me to it.

But yes, I did login to the address provided in the email. That's the only way I have been able to access the scholarship application.

 

[Paul J.]

Ok so "submit" means login? Figured as much was anything else required except fafsa info and a resume? How did you choose various grants to apply from or was it just general and they choose which you are eligible for?

Not too sure how the whole process works, I'm waiting for my W-2 form to come in so I can do my taxes and FAFSA. From what I've seen so far, it's just a general scholarship application with some essay questions.

Really wish they would have these applications due after they decide who is all admitted. Seems like an awful waste of time for over 1000's of applicants to each write up several 500 word essays.

 

[Paul J.]

Shoot... was hoping for no essays. Kinda thought they could have had access to the personal statement and that would have been enough - but I guess not. Yeah - seems like a waste of everyones time. Curious that you can't save during the process but have to "write the essay" on the go.

Yeah, makes me wonder if they use the financial information for admittance consideration.

 

[Paul J.]

I think I saw a statement that said no, but who knows. Money talks and it's possible that they see it as extra work if they choose good but poor applicants and have to burn through the wait list. Dunno. Maybe I'll just take off my foil hat.

 

[ThatDude]

,,,Maybe I'll just take off my foil hat.

Yeah I think I'll do the same
