How does this initiative impact incoming USC students?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The initiative will expand assistance and boost opportunities for students who may previously have earned too much to qualify for adequate aid, or too little to afford a top-tier college education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For new first-year students entering USC beginning in Fall 2020:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Students from U.S. families with an annual income of $80,000 or less with typical assets will attend USC tuition free.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ensures total university need-based grant funding will continue to outpace annual tuition growth – promising more available grants and scholarships for USC\u2019s talented student body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
