government scholarships

Public education funding

Government scholarships are financial awards from federal, state, or local governments to help students pay for education.

Unlike loans, they don't require repayment.

They may be based on academic merit, financial need, or specific criteria like field of study or demographic background: She received a government scholarship to study nursing.
