university grants

College financial aid

University grants are funds awarded to students or institutions to support higher education, typically based on financial need, academic merit, or research purposes.

Unlike loans, grants don't require repayment: She received a university grant covering her tuition.

Governments, foundations, and universities themselves issue grants for everything from undergraduate aid to faculty research projects.
