Thank you for answering my question!

28:53
Hi I have a follow up question about parents’ income. I did graduate from college but my parents still help me with my rent and other living expenses. Does this affect my ability to receive financial aid for fafsa application?

30:32
Can we apply for fafsa grants?

30:45
I heard that after college no grants any more

30:52
Thanks for confirming

33:15
If you have excellent credit is it possible to get a lower fixed rate? Say 790+

33:31
Not with the federal government

35:43
If you go private? Or all those variable?

39:21
So there's no institutional grants, but admitted students are automatically considered for merit scholarships; are there any institutional need-based scholarships at USC?

39:22
Does LSAT score influence scholarship allotment provided by Gould during the application decision process?

39:27
Thank you so much! I apologize for all the typos. 😂

40:12
What is the average amount of debt that Gould students graduate with?

40:14
Do you suggest that prospective students try to pay back all of their undergraduate federal loans before attending law school?

42:49
Although USC Gould does not currently offer need-based awards, more than 95% of students receive a merit-based scholarship with the average being $37, 000 for this current enrolled class. The range was from $15k - full tuition.

44:05
If admitted to USC Gould, how long after being notified of the acceptance are you expected to receive your financial aid package information? Thank you!

45:18
Thank you!

45:33
Thank you so much!

45:33

Excuse that typo!

@Brittany - The deposit deadline to secure your spot in our class is May 1st, 2022.

53:25
What is the typical cost for books and supplies each semester? @Brooke

54:16
is the LRAP available only for those who pursue public interest/service careers?

54:22
Will ED admitted applicants still be considered for merit scholarships? Or does “the 50 percent tuition scholarship” comprise the entire scholarship package?

55:56
@Amado, USC factors books and supplies into the total CoA that you will receive in your financial aid summary

56:51
Thank you!

57:34
Thank you so much for your time!

57:35
I appreciate all of the wonderful information!

57:36
Hello! For ED applicants, if 50% tuition is the maximum award you receive, does this mean you can finance the other 50% through loans? or are scholarships available ?

57:41
Thanks!

57:43
Thank you

57:52
Thank you!

58:40
Are students more likely to receive financial aid in the ED pool or regular decision ?

58:56
Thanks so much for your time!
