It is likely to be an EdD considering she was already a teacher when she started the program. As for funding, it varies by university and the Ed school’s finances.
However, most folks I knew who did EdD or sometimes even M.Eds were funded by the school…half or more…
An older college classmate received a 50% scholarship to attend a top 3 Ed school for an M.Ed and a former roommate/friend received higher levels of funding for the same degree from the same Ed school.
