Are you looking for a simple way to navigate through the details of scholarships, awards and grants? The terminology is a bit technical, but here is how you can tell the difference:
- Scholarships are based on merit (academic), and/or achievement (arts, athletics, etc.) and are not always linked to financial need.
- Awards are monetary gifts based on merit (academics) and/or achievement (arts, athletics, etc.) that are usually given to graduating students who demonstrate outstanding performance.
- Grants are given to students who demonstrate a need for financial assistance and may or may not contain additional merit and/or achievement-based criteria.
