I ask because most people I see on Discord are completing it in 2-3 terms. This means you won't get that full amount in financial aid. In grad school, financial aid is all loans. Scholarships aren't super common unless you're on campus conducting research, running the lab, being a TA, being an RA, etc.
Thank you for your responses. However, the information you shared is something I’ve known since I came to the USA in 2008. Additionally, there are schools that do offer scholarships specifically for competency-based degrees (CBD). We’re all here to help each other, so I hope we can stay focused on providing useful advice rather than making personal comments like, "It seems like you don’t really understand what it entails.
