CBE schools sometimes offer scholarships in the sense of discounts on tuition where the students still are responsible for paying some tuition. Occasionally a full-tuition scholarship might be offered on a competitive basis to an exceptional student, typically from a specific affinity group, eg., a scholarship for a working early childhood education paraprofessional in Missouri seeking to become a licensed teacher.

But you seem to be looking for something categorically different: not only full tuition but also a living expenses stipend. These are unheard of in CBE. When they’re offered in graduate programs, they’re competitive awards for academic stars, and excluding some professional degree programs (e.g., law school), the packages typically include work commitments as research assistants or teaching assistants making them part-time jobs.
