Scholarships

A scholarship is a financial award given to students to help pay for their education. Scholarships can be based on various criteria, including academic achievement, financial need, extracurricular activities, or specific talents. Unlike loans, scholarships do not need to be repaid, making them a valuable resource for students looking to reduce the cost of their education. They can be offered by schools, private organizations, government programs, or community groups.

Bursaries

A bursary is a type of financial aid that provides funding to students, typically based on financial need. Unlike scholarships, which may be awarded for academic achievement or specific talents, bursaries focus primarily on helping students cover educational costs when they demonstrate financial hardship. Bursaries can help with tuition, books, and other related expenses, and like scholarships, they usually do not need to be repaid. They are often offered by schools, universities, and various organizations to support students in their educational pursuits.
