scholarship funding

Merit-based tuition aid

Scholarship funding is money provided to support a student's education, typically based on academic merit, financial need, or other qualifying criteria.

The term emphasizes the source or availability of such support: She's looking for scholarship funding for graduate school.

Organizations, governments, and individuals all provide scholarship funding, and students often piece together multiple sources to cover costs.
