What exactly is college scholarship offer ? (for high school students)?

Question

Does it guarantee you a scholarship ?

Why did they give it to you ? (Pretend that you didn't send in an application)

Answer 1

from a college, they will give you a set amount of money to go to their school.  I am going into college next year, Adrian college gave me a 10,000 dollar scholarship to go there for academics.  So if i go there i would get 10,000 dollars towards tuition.

they give it because it is an incentive to go there.  colleges are like business in a way.  it is like getting a coupon.
