A scholarship is a financial support awarded to a student, based on academic achievement or other criteria that may include financial need, for the purpose of schooling. There are various types of scholarships – the two most common being merit-based and need-based.

Make sure scholarship information and offers you receive are legitimate, and remember that you don't have to pay to find scholarships or other financial aid. Check out information on how to avoid scams. https://studentaid.gov/resources/scams.

NEVER PAY ANYONE FOR SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION!
