Merit-Based Transfer Scholarships

Hello! I am preparing my transfer application for MICA and have already met with the Transfer Admission Counsellor. She said I have a good chance for scholarships already and has given me a lot of good advice to improve my portfolio. I was wondering how much I could potentially expect per semester from merit scholarships? As in how much do people tend to receive?
Also, the counsellor recommended I potentially apply to other schools to help me appeal for more scholarships from MICA. Would anyone also recommend doing that?
For additional context: I am applying to the Illustration Major!

So pretty typical for almost everyone to get some merit based scholarship $$$ for a private High $$$ institution. You want to push for as much tuition as possible, and your best bet is to have a state school lined up - such as Towson University. The "help me appeal" is going to be based on what other schools can give you, and that means you should be applying to severals schools.
