Scholarships

What are scholarships and grants? 

Scholarships and grants are types of aid that you don’t need to pay back. This type of aid is also called “gift aid,” “free money,” and “merit aid.”  

Many scholarships are awarded for achievement in academics, athletics, or a specialty area such as music, fine arts, or math. Most students end up using a mix of scholarships, federal or state aid, and loans to finance their education after high school.
