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.

What are scholarships?

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.
