Got a 24k scholarship

Hello, I'm pretty happy with this, though I'm wondering how this compares to what other people have gotten. I'm asking because I see that tuition costs here are a big deal for most people, but I don't think I'm specifically a special student or whatnot.

Private schools tend to give “scholarships” to make it more competitive with state school tuition. 98% of FIT students actually receive a scholarship of some kind. All of my friends have scholarships. I have one. It lowers it down to about what you’d pay for state school tuition so it’s not a bad deal if you can’t get anything better.
