Scholarships are financial aid awards that are meant to help students pay for their college degree. They may be awarded based on merit and/or financial need and, unlike student loans, scholarships do not need to be repaid. Merit-based scholarships might be granted based on academic achievements, athletics, extracurricular accomplishments, or community involvement. Need-based scholarships are awarded based on a number of factors, such as household income, that contribute to a student’s need for assistance in affording a college education.
