Scholarships/ Bursaries are
one of the most attractive forms of financial aid because
they are available to anyone and you don't have to pay
them back! Scholarships are also a missed opportunity for
many students. Most students don't realize there are scholarships
available to them that could finance a significant portion
of their education. It takes some time and energy to find
and apply for scholarships, but the hard work will most
likely pay off.
To some students and
parents, the word "scholarship" is
just another one of those confusing college terms: student
loans, tuition and fees, grants, and work-study. Little
do they realize that knowing more about the scholarship
process could save them thousands of dollars when trying
to cover the cost of their education.
Scholarships come in
a variety of forms, but are generally considered to be "free
money" for
college. Unlike loans, scholarships do not have to be
repaid to the scholarship provider. Some scholarships
are awarded directly to the student in the form of a
check, while other scholarships are in the form of a
reduction in tuition. Who can get scholarships?
It is a common misconception that scholarships are only
for straight-A students. In reality, there are all types
of scholarships for all types of students, including those
with less than perfect academic records. Some scholarships
are for athletes; others are for students planning to study
in particular fields; and others for community service!
Students also mistakenly believe that only college-bound
high school seniors can apply for awards. Scholarships
are available for all levels of college study, from freshman
undergrads to graduate and PhD students.
The scholarship amount,
however, does not cover items such as books, supplies,
room and board, or any other special fees. Students are
strongly encouraged to apply for other forms of financial
aid to cover these costs.
