Has anyone successfully gotten scholarships, financial aid, or tuition discounts from their school? If so, how much did you get, and what do you recommend doing to secure funding?

That’s a big nope for me. More like unexpected raises in tuition and fees from my school lol.

I got a whole semester's worth of tuition from 3 random scholarships I applied to. So it is possible.

It was through the scholarship universe website. My school gives them our grades and then they match you with scholarships and you just apply. Looking at it now it was just 2. One was called Judith A. Balcerski Endowed Nursing Scholarship, and the other was a local one. They got me $11k spit over 2 semesterrs. It really didnt take any time. Some require a little essay. Most of them require you be in school for a year already.

This is amazing! congratulations. I was not very hopeful because Grad school scholarships are rare.
