Like grants, scholarships are a type of financial aid that you won’t have to pay back. Scholarships are based on a variety of things. Some are designed to help students with the greatest financial need. Some are based only on academic scores and achievements. Some focus on specific majors or activities such as sports. Many combine these factors.
