Merit-Based: A form of financial assistance that is given based on a student’s skill or academic accomplishments. These can include athletic or artistic abilities, high test scores, or excellent grades.
Athletic: A type of aid based on a student’s participation in a variety of sports ranging from football to hockey. Some scholarships offer full rides covering the entire cost of tuition, room and board, and books.
Activity-Based: Scholarships are based on a student’s involvement with a profession, hobby, or extracurricular activities.
Need-Based: Scholarships are determined by students’ financial situation rather than only on their merit. This often means the student’s family has a household income that does not exceed a certain threshold.
Military: Scholarships are available for all five branches of the U.S. armed forces: the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy. This type of aid typically goes to active or reserve service members and veterans. In some cases, military scholarships may even extend to family members.
Employer-Sponsored Tuition Assistance: Through tuition assistance, employers can sometimes make the difference that enables someone to complete a post-secondary education. Employer-sponsored scholarships and tuition assistance are provided by a company to support employees seeking to further their education and skills.
