UChicago CAAM and STATs Masters scholarships/discounts

[Mike Lawrence]

I thought I saw somewhere that someone was once given a 25-50% scholarship for Uchicago Stats masters. The comment made it seem somewhat common and kind of a letdown. 

Would y'all give me any information on what types of scholarships are available for these programs, and how common they may be?

UChicago's MS statistics FAQ currently says they give 10% scholarships to most people - even 50% still leaves a huge cost for attending the program, which is why the person probably sounded disappointed.  Most people on this forum are applying to PhD programs and will get a master's degree for free, so any amount of money to pay would be disappointing when there are programs where you can go for free.
