A scholarship is an amount of money given by a school,
college, university, or other organization to pay for the studies of a person
with great ability but little money: He got/won a scholarship to Harvard.
A full ride scholarship is an award that covers
all expenses related with college. This includes tuition, books, fees, room and
board, and possibly even living costs. The goal is to remove any need for
additional financial aid.
Scholarships can cover tuition fees, textbooks,
and sometimes even living expenses, reducing the financial strain on students
and their families. Access to better opportunities: Winning a scholarship can
open doors to prestigious universities and academic programs that might
otherwise be unaffordable.
Scholarship donors are generous and caring people
who unselfishly give to support the educational endeavors of students like you
