COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP

A college scholarship is an award of access to an institution and/or a financial aid award for an individual for the purposes of furthering their education. A college scholarship is generally awarded based on any number of arbitrary criteria, including:

- financial need

- academic achievement

- athletic achievement

- public service

- nationality or ethnicity

College scholarships are generally funded by education institutions and/or non-profit foundations. In the United States, college scholarship foundations are classified as organizations to which donations made are tax-deductible.

College scholarship grants can range from just a few dollars to full tuition. Locating free college scholarships can be arduous work. However, in recent years, locating college scholarships has become easier due to the Internet.
