Is it a standard thing or does it vary by school ? Any insight ?


Schools are given 12.something Scholarships. They are full scholarships (soup to nuts). It is my understand if you get 50% scholarship for 60K school you get 30K. Unless there are other academic money you would pay the other half.

That is why Stony Brook has advantage for Suffolk girls. 50% scholarship with a girl living at home is a pretty good situation financially.

Others may correct me if I am wrong on this, but I am pretty sure that is how it works.
