First off, good fortune to the peeps taking the test tomorrow.

I have a question regarding a full scholarship. Hopefully yall could help (article links accepted). When a school gives a "full" scholarship, does that mean full tuition, full everything (COL, books, other fees)? Is there any such thing as scholarship that covers "everything"? Friend of mine just got a "full" scholarship but had to take loans out for rent. I went to a very cheap public undergrad school so me taking a loan out was literally a few thousand dollars. My entire undergrad debt is less than $7k so I'm not too familiar with scholarships and financial aid. During research, I'm hearing financial aid in law school is totally different and a nicer way of saying loan.

Long story longer, if the latter of my question exist (full scholly for everything) what are the approaches and ways to obtain that?

Your boy aint tryna pay $200k in debt! -in my Brooklyn accent-

Thanks peeps,

Namaste

    NYU has an incredible stipend for public service aspirers. Forget what it's called, but it's incredible.

    Thanks. Based on last two answers, stipend is "money" towards non-tuition.

    yeah, stipend is additional money outside of what they cover for tuition

    Depends on the school.

    Mostly, a full scholarship means they cover your tuition and not the rest of the costs.

    Schools like Chicago though have their Ruby Scholarship with covers tuition and has a stipend

    Generally, I would say it means full tuition, not rent etc.

    When a school provides money for living expenses, that is usually called a stipend.
