15. A scholarship is an award of financial aid for a student to further his or her
education. Scholarships are awarded based upon various criteria, which
usually reflect the values and purposes of the donor or founder of the
award. Scholarship money is not required to be repaid.

16. Academic Scholarships
Academic scholarships are also often referred to as merit
scholarships; though a merit scholarship can mean anything
that has some level of contest to it. These are for the
students with the 4.0 GPAs, years as part of several
extracurricular activities and the well-rounded
applications. They typically have the highest payouts and
are considered very prestigious as they are often national
awards.
Average Academic Performance Scholarships
If that first category nearly scared you away, don’t run off
so soon! Even if your grades aren’t the best, there are
plenty of scholarships meant for you as well. Average
student scholarships do take academics into consideration,
but focus on other factors as well, such as community
service, leadership, the strength of your essay, etc.

Athletic Scholarships
For students with strong academics and physical skills,
athletic scholarships are the way to go. There is practically
a scholarship for every single sport, from volleyball to
football; gymnastics to cheerleading. So, if you excel in
anything physical, you should definitely pursue an athletic
scholarship.
Scholarships for Minorities
There are also many scholarships for minorities available.
Some of these are general and for all minorities as a
collective whole, while others are catered to individual
ethnic groups. It is also a good idea to apply for a minority
scholarship if you are part or fully of a certain ethnicity.
You will get to represent your culture and possibly win
money.

Creative Scholarships
For those artistic at heart, there are creative scholarships available
to help you pursue your passion. Art scholarships, music
scholarships and even dance scholarships usually involve an
audition of some sort, and can help you get through art school or
an art program at a university. Regardless of your creative field,
you can rest assured that there is a scholarship out there just for
you. However, it is your job to find it and to apply!
Community Service Scholarships
Community service scholarships are fantastic for those that love to
give to others and give back to their communities. If you already
perform a lot of community service, then a scholarship in this vein
may be perfect for you. There is also the Federal Work Study
program, which awards a percentage of their funding to students
performing community service activities. It may be a viable option
for you if you were planning on using work-study as a means of
paying for college anyway.
