What is a "scholarship"?

A scholarship is a financial award given to a student to help pay for their education. Scholarships are typically based on criteria such as academic achievement, financial need, athletic ability, or other talents or characteristics. Unlike loans, scholarships do not have to be repaid. They can cover a variety of educational expenses, including tuition, books, and other fees. Scholarships are offered by schools, government agencies, private organizations, or foundations and can help make education more accessible to students by easing the financial burden.
