tuition grants
Student financial aid
Tuition grants are funds given to students to help pay for education, typically not requiring repayment.
Unlike loans, grants are essentially gifts—from governments, institutions, or private organizations.
They may be based on financial need, academic merit, or specific criteria like field of study: She received a tuition grant covering half her costs.
The term emphasizes that the money goes specifically toward instructional fees rather than housing or books.
