scholarship winner
Funded student honoree
A scholarship winner is someone who has been awarded a scholarship—financial support for education based on academic achievement, athletic ability, artistic talent, or other qualifying criteria.
The term emphasizes the competitive nature of most scholarships: Three scholarship winners were announced at the ceremony.
Unlike a scholarship recipient, which is neutral, scholarship winner implies having prevailed over other applicants.
