I look forward to seeing you at Hebrew U! They have a merit scholarship which covers all the tuition (but you'll still need to find a way to cover housing, food, flights, etc.) At this point almost all of the scholarship deadlines have passed for Fall 2020. You'll find this page is very useful:

I don't know whether or not the program is difficult to get into. My best advice is to put your best foot forward! As a Master's program, I can't imagine that it's as competitive as, say, a funded PhD program, but the scholarships may be competitive. Hard for me to gauge. Their online application portal can be glitchy, and some parts of the website are not updated, or aren't super clear about all the details. When applying, I strongly advise that you
1) apply for the early deadline (it'll allow various discounts and just generally helps everything go more smoothly).
2) contact their graduate admissions coordinator when you have any question about procedures or program/application details. I found the graduate admissions coordinator to be very helpful in answering my questions.
I'm happy to keep in touch... will message you.
I'm sure you can find a nice maximalist option to suit you, but be warned that studying ANE context tends to not jive very well with the demands of theological conservatism.
