academic scholarship

Grades-based tuition aid

Academic scholarship has two distinct meanings.

The first is financial aid awarded to students based on academic achievement: She earned a full academic scholarship to Yale.

The second refers to the collective body of scholarly research and intellectual work produced within academia—the papers, books, and studies that advance knowledge in a field: Recent academic scholarship has challenged that assumption.
