What are the Types Of Scholarships:
Scholarships and grants in this category are called “Need-based” awards and are based solely on a family’s financial situation. Need-based scholarships and grants are awarded by colleges and universities, federal and state governments, local and regional organizations, and national organizations. Students receiving these awards have a great financial need and typically cannot afford to attend college without significant financial help from outside sources.
Scholarships in this category are called “Merit-based” scholarships and are awarded to top students without consideration of family income or financial assets. Students receiving these awards have exhibited exceptional academic success; if students have excellent grades and a reasonable amount of community service, they should not hesitate to apply for merit-based scholarships.
Athletic Talent
Students receiving these scholarships are exceptionally talented athletes who receive financial aid awards in exchange for playing a sport.
Specific Attributes

Also, scholarship eligibility may be based on religious affiliation, heritage, ethnicity, or community affiliations.
