I was just offered MArch (1st Professional) with a US$11,000/Semester tuition scholarship.
Is this amount worth to attend the school? Also, is this the highest amount of scholarship available for Pratt’s MArch programme?

Don't think about the amount of the scholarship - think about the amount it will cost you to attend, including living expenses, after the scholarship (and any other outside funding sources you may have).
My personal prejudice is that NO architecture degree, regardless of how good and/or prestigious the school, is worth going into any debt for, but my view is at the extreme - there are certainly plenty of architects who have good careers with some student debt. (I say this as someone who did take out student loans and is happy in the profession despite the debt, but would probably still make different decisions if I had it to do over.)

This is in no way an extreme opinion. It is the correct one.

Money should always be part of the equation. How much will you end up spending here vs your other options? Do you think you can repay that money while working junior gigs at 50k/ year?
