Scholarships are forms of aid that help students pay for their education. Like grants, they do not have to be repaid. Hundreds of thousands of scholarships from several thousand sponsors are awarded each year.
Typically, scholarships are awarded for students with special qualifications, such as academic, athletic or artistic talent. Awards are also available for students who are interested in particular fields of study, who are members of underrepresented groups, who live in certain areas of the country, or who demonstrate financial need.
Generally, there are three different categories of scholarships:
* Institutional: Scholarships funded through the college or university.
* Private: Scholarships funded through private businesses, civic organizations, labor unions, and other groups.
* Governmental: Scholarships offered by federal and state governmental agencies.
