What do I need to do to prove my financial need on the scholarship application?

If you have applied for financial aid through USC, the college will obtain your FAFSA score and there is nothing you need to provide on your application.

Additionally, if your financial need has changed since you last applied for aid through USC, you may upload an explanation in the space provided on the application.
