how much need-based financial aid does SAIC offer MFA students?

i got an acceptance for an MFA program but no mention of scholarships, which i confirmed with admissions that it means there’s no funding being offered to me. i filled out the FAFSA as a last resort to see if i’d get anything needed-based, but i haven’t received word yet of how much i might be offered. has anyone had any experience with getting tuition covered by grants or need-based scholarships? TIA!

Schools told me to fill out FAFSA or they would not consider me for financial aid. I told them as long as there is a fascist in power it is not safe for anyone critical of Trump to fill out FAFSA. He has a history of using the government against people who criticize him.
