Sheila’s Answer

Hello Devin: A scholarship is an award of financial aid for a student to further their education. Scholarships are awarded based upon various criteria, which usually reflect the values and purposes of the donor or founder of the award. Scholarship money is not required to be repaid. Keep in mind that there are several types of scholarships to name a few such as:

a) Academic

b) Athletic

c) Need-based (you must demonstrate financial need, which you will be required to complete Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

d) Minorities

Here's a link to Go College where you could find very useful information on the entire college process.

Jerel’s Answer

Some scholarships for college are merit-based. You earn them by meeting or exceeding certain standards set by the scholarship-giver. Merit scholarships might be awarded based on academic achievement or on a combination of academics and a special talent, trait, or interest. Other scholarships are based on financial need. You can learn about scholarships in several ways, including contacting the financial aid office at the school you plan to attend and checking information in a public library or online.

Hi there! great question. Scholarship is money that is awarded based on outstanding characteristics such as academics, sports, and leadership. This is Free Money. Try to search for local and national scholarships using a Google Search. Some of these scholarships may require you to send in a personal statement, so be sure to list your accomplishments, and have clear career objectives. Hope this helps! Good Luck.
