What's the difference?
The primary difference between these two types of financial aid is that merit-based scholarships, unlike need-based scholarships, are awarded to students based on academic or other merit rather than demonstrated financial need.
University Based Scholarships
Make sure you are completing scholarship applications for each college/university you are applying to. Do not wait until you are accepted, the application deadlines have usually passed by then.
