…came with a monthly stipend and an additional $20,000/year scholarship. This is in addition to my merit scholarship. So reach out to the schools, some may have additional scholarship opportunities for student employment. I will now be receiving essentially a full ride because of this. Best of luck to you all as well.

…ass gradient. Negotiated with PSU and UNLV. PSU raised scholarship to $30k per year. Thought it was a done deal, that is until UNLV swooped in with a truly awesome offer. They are offering me a Graduate Fellowship that decreases my tuition to the in-state rate and are upholding the 1/2 tuition offer they gave me.
I tailored the last paragraph of my personal statement to each school, and I believe that contributed (in part) to the scholarships I received.
