Scholarships can help fund your education with money that does not need to be repaid. Scholarships are often awarded based on academic achievement, athletic ability, or extracurricular involvement. They may come from the government, your college, private organizations, or nonprofits. Research the different scholarship opportunities that you may qualify for and apply by the specified deadlines. Scholarships and grants are gift aid — financial aid that does not have to be repaid. Scholarships are typically merit based, while grants are given based on financial need. Both can come from the government, the university, or a private organization.
Financial aid helps students and their families cover higher education expenses such as tuition and fees, housing and food, books and other coursework supplies, and transportation. You can learn more about financial aid here
