scholarship funds
Educational financial aid
Scholarship funds are pools of money set aside to help students pay for education, typically administered by schools, foundations, or other organizations.
Unlike loans, scholarships don't require repayment, making them highly sought after.
The funds may be awarded based on academic merit, financial need, athletic ability, or specific criteria like field of study or demographic background.
