uscmsw Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Nope! Was informed we would hear something in March in regards to scholarship applications but haven't heard anything. Emailed them last week and they said financial aid is still under review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakanie Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm starting with the Summer 2015 online cohort. I got my award letter last week. All they offered was loans. They said scholarships would be awarded the first week of class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdghasdghsjdgas Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 wait...... so if they're being awarded the first week of class, will we be able to use them for tuition? i'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdghasdghsjdgas Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 got my financial aid award and it just has direct loans on it? i was really really hoping for something more. i'm also confused; if we got awarded scholarships by the department, would they show up on our financial aid summary, or are they something else entirely? i just want to know that i actually have that money. i'm really worried that i won't be able to afford to go with juts 20,500 in stafford loans...

apollo2176 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 How long did they take (days, weeks, months) for the acceptance letter and financial aid to come in? I applied for the late deadline on the 1st of May, and orientation for the on-campus (LA) is June 20th so I'm just wondering if the decision will come sooner rather than later. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sounds like you have a long wait if you just applied last week. It takes a while to just get a confirmation of your items, usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo2176 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Thats what I figured, hopefully it comes before the end of the month. Thanks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socialwork2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Thats what I figured, hopefully it comes before the end of the month. Thanks though. I would call the department to confirm they received everything they needed (transcripts, etc). I also applied by the May 1st deadline last year and my app got held up because my transcript got lost in the system. If they have everything I don't think the wait will be too long, maybe a few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscmsw Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I applied by priority deadline, was informed via USC's offer letter that they are offering me 9,000 scholarship. However, the financial aid summary did not show that and only showed the direct loans. I believe they will notify you if you will get scholarships via email first, and it will not show on your financial aid summary yet. Best bet is to call the office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have everything I don't think the wait will be too long, maybe a few weeks Yesterday, I received an email saying my app was incomplete due to the application fee was missing but they received my transcripts and everything else. I'm a veteran (Marine) and they offered on the website that the school will waive the app fee and gave instructions when completing the application. I also uploaded my DD-214 as verification of proof of my Veteran status. After I saw the email, I called the department and spoke to some girl at the front desk and they said they will proceed with the process. However, I wasn't too convinced from someone working at the front desk so I emailed the admissions coordinator to make sure that was really the case. I'm still waiting on word from him. Ill update when I get further word. Thanks everyone for the info, greatly appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socialwork2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi everyone, I just wanted to see if anyone has heard from financial aid? I applied for scholarships thru the social work department but I haven't heard anything. Does anyone know what the turn around time is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
