      Hey Edlawit Lemma,

      Generally, various kinds of funding are provided by different partially funded scholarships. Some partially funded scholarships offer tuition fees while others cover living expenses. If you wish to have a complete exemption of your fees, you can try to apply for fully funded scholarships. The Howard G. Buffett Fund for Women Journalists (FWJ) 2024 offers Partial Funding, of up to USD 10,000 which could be used towards your tuition fee. It is recommended to apply for as many scholarships as possible to increase the chances of receiving as much money as possible. I hope this has been helpful.
