educational grants

School money awards

Educational grants are funds awarded to students, researchers, or institutions that don't require repayment—distinguishing them from loans.

Grants typically come from governments, foundations, or universities and are often based on financial need, academic merit, or specific fields of study: She received an educational grant to pursue graduate work in public health.

The application process usually requires demonstrating eligibility and intended use of funds.
