Private Scholarships

Scholarships are a form of financial aid that typically does not have to be paid back.  Scholarships may be funded through the federal or state government, colleges and universities, or by community organizations and private indviduals.  Each scholarship has its own application process and selection criteria, and may be merit-based, need-based, or a combination of both.
