Scholarships
What are scholarships?
Scholarships
are a form of financial aid to assist you in paying expenses
related to your education such as tuition and fees, books
and supplies, room and board, etc. Scholarships are funded
by donations from private individuals, corporations, foundations,
and organizations and by state institutions. They are usually
not based on need and generally, do not have to be repaid.
A scholarship is an award of money or assistance that a student
receives to help cover the expense of further education. Most
scholarships are based on merit. Merit usually refers to excellence
in such things as academic achievement, music, or sports.
The financial needs of the applicants are not usually taken
into account in awarding scholarships, so that even people
from wealthy families can still win them. Scholarships can
take the form of money or credit given to a student directly
or of money given to a college or university in the form of
tuition or residence payments for a student. Scholarships
are not a new idea. They have been around for a long time,
and that is why there are so many of them and why they can
be so hard to find.

Why are scholarships awarded?
You
may be wondering why universities and colleges give out scholarships.
It sounds like a merchant paying someone to shop in his or
her store. Universities and colleges award scholarships to
attract the most talented students. Because educational institutions
are in competition with each other for students, many of them
feel the need to offer financial incentives to bring in talented
ones. It is important to have good students in order to get
and keep good professors. If the institution has good professors,
then it will get more research grants from the government.
Thus, there are a lot of reasons why it is in the best interests
of a college or university to offer good students money to
go there. These places also hope that when you have graduated
and found a good job you will donate money to your old school!
Above all else, most scholarships are designed to recognize
and encourage excellence.
What must I generally do
to win a scholar ship?
As
a rule, the greater the value of the scholarship, the more
work is involved in winning it. Many of the big scholarships
have lengthy application forms. Applicants are also required
to get two or three letters of recommendation. You may also
be asked to write one or two essays on a given topic. There
may even be an interview. It sounds like a lot of work, but
you have to remember that once you have set yourself up to
try for one scholarship you might as well apply for several.
At present there is no central authority that limits the amount
of scholarship money a student can try out for.
