private scholarships
Non-governmental educational grants
Private scholarships are financial awards for education funded by non-governmental sources—corporations, foundations, community organizations, or individuals rather than federal or state programs.
Students typically apply separately from institutional aid: She won a private scholarship from the local Rotary Club.
Unlike need-based aid, many private scholarships reward merit, specific talents, or membership in particular groups.
