Scholarships are awards that do not need to be repaid. They may come from a variety of sources: community organizations, institutions, or government sources. Scholarships may be based on academic achievement, outstanding skills (merit based), or community involvement. Students may be required to write an essay or get letters of recommendation. Financial need may also be a consideration.
