WHAT IS A SCHOLARSHIP?
Scholarships are non-repayable financial rewards. They are awarded to students to help them carry out their education with ease. Scholarships are generally awarded to students with some exceptional academic record or due to their special needs. Scholarships are of generally two types:
-
Need-based scholarships
This type of scholarship is awarded to students based on their needs. Such scholarships release the students from the burden of loans and part-time jobs, which they do to make both ends meet
-
Merit-based scholarships
These types of scholarships are awarded to students for their commendable academic achievements, volunteering work, etc. such scholarships are usually limited so this makes the competition tougher and very less students can get this type of scholarship.
