What are scholarships?

Question

I know what they are, but I don't fully understand the whole process. I'm only 12, but i'll need to know someday, so does anyone know any good websites that tell me all I need to know about scholarships?

Answer 1

Hey! Good for you! One website to go to is FastWeb.com

They will ask you some questions and based on your answers they match up scholarships for you.

Don't sweat it. Have a parent sit with you and go through the questions. Some of them you will not know. It is the one I belong to.

Its free. DO NOT! I REPEAT! DO NOT PAY FOR ANYONE OR ANYSITE TO "HOOK YOU UP" WITH SCHOLARSHIP SITES OR ANYTHING OF THIS SUCH.

IT IS A SCAM. Be careful. Also talk to you counselor/principal they may have more info.

Good luck.

Answer 2

A scholarship is an award of access to an institution, or a financial aid award for an individual student scholar, for the purpose of furthering their education. Scholarships are awarded based on a range of criteria which usually reflect the values and purposes of the donor or founder of the award.

Depending on the type of scholarship and the country you live in, the options will be different.
