What is a Scholarship

CHAPTER 1

The bdquoOxford Dictionary of English‟ defines the word bdquoscholarship‟ as bdquoa grant or

payment made to support a student‟s education awarded on the basis of

academic or other achievement‟

A scholarship is a reward of financial assistance for students to further their

academic endeavours

A scholarship is a gift of academic financial support that does not need to be

repaid by the recipient which makes it the most desirable form of financial aid

Types of Scholarships

CHAPTER 2

Merit-Based

Generally people think that bdquomerit scholarships‟ are just for those students who

have high grades or are excellent in academics Merit scholarships are definitely

given to top-scoring students but thats not all bdquoMerit‟ means bdquoto be worthy of or

to deserve‟

So if you are a brilliant athlete and excel in a specific sport or you are a

talented singer musician or dancer and you excel in a specific performing art

you may still get a bdquomerit scholarship‟

Top scores in standardised tests such as SAT ACT GRE GMAT IELTS and TOEFL

etc are also taken into consideration for academic eligibility Merit scholarships

are offered by educational institutions and by private organisations A consistent

top-ranking performance from senior school or class ten onwards ensures that

applicants have a good chance of obtaining a scholarship

Check this link for more information on IELTS Scholarship

Need-Based

Need-based scholarships are given to students who cannot afford to pay their

college tuition fee Students coming from a less well off family can apply for

these scholarships Students who have financialeconomic problems and are

consistently good at their studies are eligible for need-based scholarships Some

institutions also offer need-based scholarships to single parent students

Scholarships are primarily one of three types

bull Merit-based

bull Need-based

bull Student-specific

Student-Specific Scholarship

Student-specific scholarships are provided to a specific category of the students

This can be based on the student‟s race sex religion family medical history and

many other factors Minority scholarships for African Latin-American and

aboriginal students fall under this category

For example bdquoThe Gates Millennium Scholars Programme‟ is a minority

scholarship funded by Bill and Melinda Gates for excellent African American

American Indian Asian Pacific Islander American and Latino students who enroll

in college Meanwhile Commonwealth scholarships are offered to students from

countries who are part of the British Commonwealth countries

Common Myths About

Scholarships

CHAPTER 4

Common Myths About Scholarships

Only academic stars win scholarships

It is a misconception that only top-ranking students get scholarships Scholarships

are not just awarded for academic merit but also for excelling in sports the

performing arts or for displaying an act of valour or courage Some institutions

also offer monetary support to students who are victims of war-crimes

Heavy competition minimises my chances of winning a scholarship

It is true that competition is fierce but that does not mean your application is

immediately rejected The best option is to apply to all those scholarships whose

eligibility requirements are met by you

I am an academic star - I will easy secure a scholarship

Remember the old saying lsquoPride goeth before a fallrsquo Being a top-notch student

helps but does not automatically ensure that you will win a coveted scholarship

Remember that there will be many other students who are academically better

than you who would have applied for the same scholarship So remain humble

and apply to all relevant scholarships

Applying for a loan lessens my chances of securing a college scholarship

Parents often assume incorrectly that if their children get study loans colleges will

reduce any scholarship money that might have been awarded Each institution

has its own policy towards the disbursal of scholarships so please remember to

read all relevant information before applying for a specific scholarship In most

cases a bank loan does not impact the scholarship amount offered by an

institution

Scholarship applicants require exceptional talent

Try and be honest with yourself when it comes to your talent skill or expertise

which will dictate any scholarship you are applying to While you may excel in a

certain area within your small community or group of friends you have to be

excellent to compete with others from around the countryworld Whether or not

you have doubts about your abilities always practice and try to improve them

INTRODUCTION

Did you know that in ancient India kings used to sponsor the education of poor

and needy students in universities like Taxila and Nalanda These are amongst

the earliest recorded instances of scholarships being granted to students

Similarly well-to-do Romans supported students in ancient Rome as well

In the current scenario dollar and euro values keep fluctuating and institutions

across the world increase tuition fees and the cost of accommodation on-

campus so it becomes essential that students plan their finances accordingly

Most international universities and colleges offer a limited number of scholarships

and bursaries to students Additionally a number of private charitable

organisations and leading philanthropists offer scholarships to deserving and

meritorious students who wish to go abroad and study

As a student planning to go abroad for higher studies does the cost factor give

you sleepless nights Do not worry we at Uniguru have put together this guide to

offer you information on some popular scholarships that will help you fund your

studies

Take your time to go through this guide and apply for a scholarship that caters

to your requirements Also make sure you don‟t miss the ldquoTweet to Win

payment made to support a student‟s education awarded on the basis of

academic or other achievement‟

Types of Scholarships

CHAPTER 2

Merit-Based

Generally people think that bdquomerit scholarships‟ are just for those students who

have high grades or are excellent in academics Merit scholarships are definitely

given to top-scoring students but thats not all bdquoMerit‟ means bdquoto be worthy of or

to deserve‟

So if you are a brilliant athlete and excel in a specific sport or you are a

talented singer musician or dancer and you excel in a specific performing art

you may still get a bdquomerit scholarship‟

Top scores in standardised tests such as SAT ACT GRE GMAT IELTS and TOEFL

etc are also taken into consideration for academic eligibility Merit scholarships

are offered by educational institutions and by private organisations A consistent

top-ranking performance from senior school or class ten onwards ensures that

applicants have a good chance of obtaining a scholarship

Need-Based

Need-based scholarships are given to students who cannot afford to pay their

college tuition fee Students coming from a less well off family can apply for

these scholarships Students who have financialeconomic problems and are

consistently good at their studies are eligible for need-based scholarships Some

institutions also offer need-based scholarships to single parent students

Scholarships are primarily one of three types

bull Merit-based

bull Need-based

bull Student-specific

Student-Specific Scholarship

Student-specific scholarships are provided to a specific category of the students

This can be based on the student‟s race sex religion family medical history and

many other factors Minority scholarships for African Latin-American and

aboriginal students fall under this category

For example bdquoThe Gates Millennium Scholars Programme‟ is a minority

scholarship funded by Bill and Melinda Gates for excellent African American

American Indian Asian Pacific Islander American and Latino students who enroll

in college Meanwhile Commonwealth scholarships are offered to students from

countries who are part of the British Commonwealth countries

Scholarships

CHAPTER 4

Common Myths About Scholarships

Only academic stars win scholarships

It is a misconception that only top-ranking students get scholarships Scholarships

are not just awarded for academic merit but also for excelling in sports the

performing arts or for displaying an act of valour or courage Some institutions

also offer monetary support to students who are victims of war-crimes

Heavy competition minimises my chances of winning a scholarship

It is true that competition is fierce but that does not mean your application is

immediately rejected The best option is to apply to all those scholarships whose

eligibility requirements are met by you

I am an academic star - I will easy secure a scholarship

Remember the old saying lsquoPride goeth before a fallrsquo Being a top-notch student

helps but does not automatically ensure that you will win a coveted scholarship

Remember that there will be many other students who are academically better

than you who would have applied for the same scholarship So remain humble

and apply to all relevant scholarships

Applying for a loan lessens my chances of securing a college scholarship

Parents often assume incorrectly that if their children get study loans colleges will

reduce any scholarship money that might have been awarded Each institution

has its own policy towards the disbursal of scholarships so please remember to

read all relevant information before applying for a specific scholarship In most

cases a bank loan does not impact the scholarship amount offered by an

institution

Scholarship applicants require exceptional talent

Try and be honest with yourself when it comes to your talent skill or expertise

which will dictate any scholarship you are applying to While you may excel in a

certain area within your small community or group of friends you have to be

excellent to compete with others from around the countryworld Whether or not

you have doubts about your abilities always practice and try to improve them

Common Myths About

Scholarships

CHAPTER 4

Common Myths About Scholarships

Only academic stars win scholarships

It is a misconception that only top-ranking students get scholarships Scholarships

are not just awarded for academic merit but also for excelling in sports the

performing arts or for displaying an act of valour or courage Some institutions

also offer monetary support to students who are victims of war-crimes

Heavy competition minimises my chances of winning a scholarship

It is true that competition is fierce but that does not mean your application is

immediately rejected The best option is to apply to all those scholarships whose

eligibility requirements are met by you

I am an academic star - I will easy secure a scholarship

Remember the old saying lsquoPride goeth before a fallrsquo Being a top-notch student

helps but does not automatically ensure that you will win a coveted scholarship

Remember that there will be many other students who are academically better

than you who would have applied for the same scholarship So remain humble

and apply to all relevant scholarships

Applying for a loan lessens my chances of securing a college scholarship

Parents often assume incorrectly that if their children get study loans colleges will

reduce any scholarship money that might have been awarded Each institution

has its own policy towards the disbursal of scholarships so please remember to

read all relevant information before applying for a specific scholarship In most

cases a bank loan does not impact the scholarship amount offered by an

institution

Scholarship applicants require exceptional talent

Try and be honest with yourself when it comes to your talent skill or expertise

which will dictate any scholarship you are applying to While you may excel in a

certain area within your small community or group of friends you have to be

excellent to compete with others from around the countryworld Whether or not

you have doubts about your abilities always practice and try to improve them

payment made to support a student‟s education awarded on the basis of

academic or other achievement‟

academic endeavours

Types of Scholarships

CHAPTER 2

Merit-Based

Generally people think that bdquomerit scholarships‟ are just for those students who

have high grades or are excellent in academics Merit scholarships are definitely

given to top-scoring students but thats not all bdquoMerit‟ means bdquoto be worthy of or

to deserve‟

So if you are a brilliant athlete and excel in a specific sport or you are a

talented singer musician or dancer and you excel in a specific performing art

you may still get a bdquomerit scholarship‟

Top scores in standardised tests such as SAT ACT GRE GMAT IELTS and TOEFL

etc are also taken into consideration for academic eligibility Merit scholarships

are offered by educational institutions and by private organisations A consistent

top-ranking performance from senior school or class ten onwards ensures that

applicants have a good chance of obtaining a scholarship

Check this link for more information on TOEFL Scholarship

Check this link for more information on IELTS Scholarship

Need-Based

Need-based scholarships are given to students who cannot afford to pay their

college tuition fee Students coming from a less well off family can apply for

these scholarships Students who have financialeconomic problems and are

consistently good at their studies are eligible for need-based scholarships Some

institutions also offer need-based scholarships to single parent students

Scholarships are primarily one of three types

Merit-Based

Generally people think that bdquomerit scholarships‟ are just for those students who

have high grades or are excellent in academics Merit scholarships are definitely

given to top-scoring students but thats not all bdquoMerit‟ means bdquoto be worthy of or

to deserve‟

So if you are a brilliant athlete and excel in a specific sport or you are a

talented singer musician or dancer and you excel in a specific performing art

you may still get a bdquomerit scholarship‟

Top scores in standardised tests such as SAT ACT GRE GMAT IELTS and TOEFL

etc are also taken into consideration for academic eligibility Merit scholarships

are offered by educational institutions and by private organisations A consistent

top-ranking performance from senior school or class ten onwards ensures that

applicants have a good chance of obtaining a scholarship

Check this link for more information on TOEFL Scholarship

Check this link for more information on IELTS Scholarship

Need-Based

Need-based scholarships are given to students who cannot afford to pay their

college tuition fee Students coming from a less well off family can apply for

these scholarships Students who have financialeconomic problems and are

consistently good at their studies are eligible for need-based scholarships Some

institutions also offer need-based scholarships to single parent students

Scholarships are primarily one of three types

bull Merit-based

bull Need-based

bull Student-specific

Student-Specific Scholarship

Student-specific scholarships are provided to a specific category of the students

This can be based on the student‟s race sex religion family medical history and

many other factors Minority scholarships for African Latin-American and

aboriginal students fall under this category

For example bdquoThe Gates Millennium Scholars Programme‟ is a minority

scholarship funded by Bill and Melinda Gates for excellent African American

American Indian Asian Pacific Islander American and Latino students who enroll

in college Meanwhile Commonwealth scholarships are offered to students from

countries who are part of the British Commonwealth countries

Common Myths About Scholarships

Only academic stars win scholarships

It is a misconception that only top-ranking students get scholarships Scholarships

are not just awarded for academic merit but also for excelling in sports the

performing arts or for displaying an act of valour or courage Some institutions

also offer monetary support to students who are victims of war-crimes

Heavy competition minimises my chances of winning a scholarship

It is true that competition is fierce but that does not mean your application is

immediately rejected The best option is to apply to all those scholarships whose

eligibility requirements are met by you

I am an academic star - I will easy secure a scholarship

Remember the old saying lsquoPride goeth before a fallrsquo Being a top-notch student

helps but does not automatically ensure that you will win a coveted scholarship

Remember that there will be many other students who are academically better

than you who would have applied for the same scholarship So remain humble

and apply to all relevant scholarships

Applying for a loan lessens my chances of securing a college scholarship

Parents often assume incorrectly that if their children get study loans colleges will

reduce any scholarship money that might have been awarded Each institution

has its own policy towards the disbursal of scholarships so please remember to

read all relevant information before applying for a specific scholarship In most

cases a bank loan does not impact the scholarship amount offered by an

institution

Scholarship applicants require exceptional talent

Try and be honest with yourself when it comes to your talent skill or expertise

which will dictate any scholarship you are applying to While you may excel in a

certain area within your small community or group of friends you have to be

excellent to compete with others from around the countryworld Whether or not

you have doubts about your abilities always practice and try to improve them

has its own policy towards the disbursal of scholarships so please remember to

read all relevant information before applying for a specific scholarship In most

cases a bank loan does not impact the scholarship amount offered by an

institution

Scholarship applicants require exceptional talent

Try and be honest with yourself when it comes to your talent skill or expertise

which will dictate any scholarship you are applying to While you may excel in a

certain area within your small community or group of friends you have to be

excellent to compete with others from around the countryworld Whether or not

you have doubts about your abilities always practice and try to improve them

Common Myths About

Scholarships

CHAPTER 4

Common Myths About Scholarships

Only academic stars win scholarships

It is a misconception that only top-ranking students get scholarships Scholarships

are not just awarded for academic merit but also for excelling in sports the

performing arts or for displaying an act of valour or courage Some institutions

also offer monetary support to students who are victims of war-crimes

Heavy competition minimises my chances of winning a scholarship

It is true that competition is fierce but that does not mean your application is

immediately rejected The best option is to apply to all those scholarships whose

eligibility requirements are met by you

I am an academic star - I will easy secure a scholarship

Remember the old saying lsquoPride goeth before a fallrsquo Being a top-notch student

helps but does not automatically ensure that you will win a coveted scholarship

Remember that there will be many other students who are academically better

than you who would have applied for the same scholarship So remain humble

and apply to all relevant scholarships

Applying for a loan lessens my chances of securing a college scholarship

Parents often assume incorrectly that if their children get study loans colleges will

reduce any scholarship money that might have been awarded Each institution

has its own policy towards the disbursal of scholarships so please remember to

read all relevant information before applying for a specific scholarship In most

cases a bank loan does not impact the scholarship amount offered by an

institution

Scholarship applicants require exceptional talent

Try and be honest with yourself when it comes to your talent skill or expertise
