Scholarship vs. Grant

• Scholarship/Grant= Free Money
• Scholarships– merit based, eligibility requirements to maintain
• Grants -need based, often awarded based on your family’s financial situation.
• Some scholarships & grants are a combination of merit and need.
• When you receive an award be sure you understand what you need to do, if anything, to receive it or continue receiving it.
