SCHOLARSHIP
Most people/students do not know that it is possible for them to study at any University of their choice without paying a dime .
A scholarship is a financial award for students to foster and further their education. A Scholarship is actually awarded based on some criteria, these criteria actually reflect the values and purposes of the donor or founder of the award. A Scholarship could be either :

TYPES OF SCHOLARSHIPS
The most common scholarships may be classified as follows :

l Non-Academic Scholarships - This scholarship is normally awarded based on the athletic performance of a student .
l Merit Scholarships - This scholarship can be based on a number of criteria , including performance in a particular school subject or club participation, community service, artistic capabilities e.t.c. These kind of scholarships are usually awarded by either private organizations or by the school the student is intending to go to.
l Student-specific Scholarships - This are scholarships that are given out based on the gender, race, religion, family or medical history of the student . An example of this category is a scholarship that is only qualify-able by students in Africa.
l Career-specific scholarships - These scholarships are awarded to students that decide to pursue a particular field of study. Many schools in the U.S give future nurses full scholarships to enter the nursing field, especially if the student intends to work in a high-need community.
