Wow, thank you for that link for WICHE. I'd never even heard of this. I applied last year, deferred (because I didn't get any scholarships), and have basically been cruising since. I will check that out, thank you again!

Citychild- Looking through your list of applied schools -- can I ask you how much you estimate portland state to cost? And if they offer scholarships or any free aid? I know Udub is on the expensive side (for out of state), and offer virtually no free aid, otherwise I would love to attend that program. I've applied to BU as well, and I'm waiting to hear about scholarships from them. Based on my research they have full, 1/2, and 1/4 tuition waivers.

There seem to be very little info on the forums about the COSTS of an MSW, and what types of free aid (merit scholarships etc) is given by which schools. Can we compile a list of schools/programs and merit scholarships offered? It's so hard to estimate how much a program will cost without understanding what type of free aid is given. From my understanding, some schools offer virtually nothing and some very commonly offer 1/2 tuition forgiveness. My attendance of a program is nearly SOLELY based on costs, anyone else with me here? Which schools give the best aid?
