A scholarship is a form of financial aid that is awarded to a student to help cover the costs of their education. Scholarships are typically awarded based on academic merit, financial need, or a combination of both. They can be awarded by colleges and universities, private organizations, corporations, or government agencies. Scholarships can be awarded for a variety of reasons, including academic achievement, athletic ability, community service, or specific areas of study. They can cover a range of expenses, including tuition, fees, room and board, textbooks, and other educational expenses. Unlike student loans, scholarships do not have to be repaid. This makes them an attractive option for students who need financial assistance but do not want to accumulate debt. In addition to providing financial assistance, scholarships can also help students gain recognition for their achievements and enhance their resumes. Here are some popular scholarships for college students:
