scholarship opportunities
Merit-based financial aid
Scholarship opportunities are available sources of financial aid that students can pursue to help pay for education.
The phrase typically appears in contexts where schools, organizations, or websites are promoting or listing awards that prospective applicants might qualify for.
The financial aid office maintains a database of scholarship opportunities.
Unlike a single scholarship, the plural form emphasizes the range of options available and often implies that some searching or applying is required to take advantage of them.
