Scholarships are a form of financial aid helping students to pay for their college tuition.
Unlike loans, they do not have to be repaid. Scholarships are issued to students with special skills. Depending on your particular skills, you may find that you qualify for a variety of different types of scholarships. One of the best sources for scholarship information is from the college a student is applying to, so make sure you request all freshman scholarship information. The scholarship box in the Career Center is also a very good source of information.
