Scholarships
Scholarships may be based on academic performance, financial need, religious affiliation, minority status, heritage, community affiliations, or a unique set of criteria that is important to the organization providing funds. A few examples of such scholarships are as follows:
- High schools or prospective colleges may award scholarships based on academic performance.
- Ethnic organizations often provide scholarships to outstanding students sharing their respective ethnic backgrounds.
- Many companies offer scholarships to employees and/or children of their employees.
- Some houses of worship and religious denominations offer scholarships for their members or students planning a career in the clergy.
- Some organizations sponsor scholarships to attract students to a field of study facing a shortage of workers, or to encourage non-traditional or minority students to pursue a specific degree.
