Moving back to Weiss, given how studious she is, I wouldn't be surprised if the very reason she was able to study at Beacon in the first place is because she qualified for a full academic scholarship (yes we do have those here in the U.S. at certain schools if you qualify, I got one in western NY, the state not the city, by having just high enough scores on the SAT and ACT as well having a high school GPA of over 90, at a technical college in a semi rural area).

Given how against Weiss's father seems to be about Weiss studying outside Atlas, I wouldn't be surprised if he refused to pay, and Weiss chose Beacon because they would give her a full scholarship. College give out these kinds of scholarships to increase the chances and numbers of people graduating from their facilities to be very successful, increasing the prestige of the college.

Given how often Weiss was depicted as the model scholastic student in volume 1, and her mention of being the top of her class in Volume 3, I would be willing to bet money that she could get a full scholarship Here in the United States and at Beacon (not over the Internet though then it's only a matter of time before I'm a victim of credit card fraud).

Another thing to remember is that Huntsmen are a form of government workers, and here in the US, government workers tend to get lots of benefits with their jobs.

So going by US standards, by being a top student and future government worker, there are two reasons why Beacon may covers the expenses for the things she needs. Though going through Bureaucracy and recoquistion orders will probably be annoying. Not to mention if her grades drop below a certain threshold she would lose her scholarship. (Seriously I lost mine because I had a 2.97 the one semester when the minimum for keeping it was 3.0, they seriously couldn't round to the tenths place when it was that close?).
