| A
scholarship is a financial award based on merit: excellent academic
performance, community service, leadership. Financial aid, on
the other hand, is granted based on the student's financial
need, as documented by family income and assets, and other factors.
There are also sports scholarships for demonstrated athletic
ability and scholarships for other special talents such as music
and fine arts. All types of scholarships and financial aid are
extremely competitive and require excellent academic records. |
