“Florida is too close to call.” Those were the words the Executive Editor of Annenberg’s Media Center greeted me with as I exited the television studio. “Go get some food,” he said. “It’s going to be a long night.” And a long night it was.

Hi there! First off, if you haven’t yet seen it, check out Jamie’s awesome video about non-need based financial aid. It does a great job of breaking down the different options and resources available. But USC can be expensive, so it’s worth having two posts about all the great financial aid opportunities! I want to share my personal story with merit based financial aid too and give you some more ideas to keep getting merit based financial aid from the University after freshman year.

Hi Isabella! Thanks for your great question. I know you’re considering applying to USC next year and making sure you’ll be able to do your best academically is a really important factor when you look at colleges. The short answer to your question is: YES! It’s so easy to get help from professors when you’re having difficulty with something…all you have to do is ask!
