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

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

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

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

across the world increase tuition fees and the cost of accommodation on-
campus so it becomes essential that students plan their finances accordingly

organisations and leading philanthropists offer scholarships to deserving and
meritorious students who wish to go abroad and study

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
bull Merit-based
bull Need-based
bull Student-specific

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

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

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
