Does anybody know when scholarship notifications come out / if they already did?

 

[Chris W]

yesss let’s do that!! just saw your message!

I mentioned this on another thread but I'm not sure if everyone knows it's possible to start a multiple person private conversation here on FilmSchool.org. You can add a bunch of filmschool.org members and even add people later if you forget them.

I have not received any info about scholarships yet - but I did receive an email from FAFSA saying they're going to start processing applications in early March, and then they will send that info to the schools you listed on your FAFSA, at which point the schools will determine how much aid you're eligible for and then send you info about financial aid.

I might totally have that wrong, I'm not an expert in FAFSA or financial aid, but that's my understanding of it.

Did anyone who got accepted receive a deadline to submit your statement of intent in the offer letter? Mine didn't have that info anywhere and I'm still waiting to hear back on other schools, so I haven't submitted my SOI yet. I emailed them to ask but just curious if anyone else had a deadline in their letter?

Congrats! if you choose yes on your intent (without submitting it) you will see a deadline poping up (sometime in April). But it's a good idea to email them just to confirm.

Been lurking this forum from the beginning haha. I also got the decision email at 12:45am Tuesday I'm so excited! I've been the first person in my family to go to undergrad and now potentially grad as well
Just waiting to hear on financial aid before I confirm - If you've only submitted FAFSA to USC is there anything else you need to do for them to determine an aid offer? Based on FAFSA measurements I'm pretty eligible for max assistance, hoping USC will take that in sometime in March. Congrats to everyone on here, and good luck for those still waiting <3333 !!!

Will we be notified if we don’t get in? And what is the likelyhood of getting in after February notifications?

USC usually sends rejection letters, but they're the last ones to go out.

Reminder that we're interviewing USC tomorrow. Last chance to get your questions in:

Input needed - What questions do you have for USC admissions department?

I'm excited to announce I will holding a follow-up admissions department interview with USC SCA next month! Take a look at the first interview here: I'm open to questions from undergraduate and graduate students about the application process, campus culture and student life (clubs, etc.)...

Not sure if this helps, but when you apply you should have applied for scholarships. You either know immediately when you're admitted if you got certain scholarships which is a very small amount, or they let you know before the fall. Also sometimes you don't get them but if you applied and you really want one, just bug Student Services over the summer, lots of things happen, they have lots of scholarships, and sometimes you get lucky and you'll get one. I wouldn't bank on scholarships to start but they are available.

Hey guys I just got an email from the admission office telling me I'm waitlisted. So it looks like they're starting to roll out more decisions.
