Merit-based aid
Merit-based aid includes a variety of talents and interests: academic, artistic, athletic, interest, work, background, and so on. Scholarships are the most common type of merit-based aid (though some do have a need-based component), which may come from the school or from outside sources.
Need-based aid
Federal student aid is need-based and eligibility is based solely on the assets and income of the prospective student and his or her family. Factors such as test scores or athletic ability have no bearing on need-based aid.
Institutional Scholarships
Institutional scholarships are offered to students by the school they plan to attend.
Outside Scholarships
An outside scholarship is any scholarship not awarded by the government or the school, such as a scholarship provided by a private sector company, philanthropist, or foundation
