What is a Scholarship?

Scholarships are financial aid awards for high school students planning to pursue a college education, current college students, and workers who are working to pay off student loans.Donors provide funds to help students reduce the cost of students' education.

Types of scholarships vary depending on the source. Some scholarships are one-time payments, while others are given over a span of time or renewed yearly. High school seniors have many scholarship opportunities open for them as they prepare for college, whether that be locally or through organizations such as Bold.org. Federal financial aid is given to students who apply, but generally is not always considered to be scholarships.

Scholarships are made out as checks to either the individual student for any education-related expenses or the student's university to cover tuition, depending on the type of scholarship. For specific information on how scholarships provide financial aid at your school, talk to the financial office at your university.
