Scholarships vary in size and application requirements. Some scholarships are awarded based on grades and achievement, while others are awarded based on needUnlike loans, they do not have to be repaid. The scholarship application process is separate from the federal and state financial aid application. Students can search for scholarships year-round and deadlines are scattered throughout the year.
