Help Fund Your Training Investment… Just for Being You

What Is a Scholarship?

A scholarship is funding to help pay for your investment in vocational training. Thousands of scholarships exist, and there are just as many types of organizations offering them as reasons you could qualify for one. Scholarships can come from religious groups, social and professional organizations, employers, schools, private companies, individuals, communities and nonprofits.

There are two types of scholarships:

Merit-based
Need-based

You might be eligible for a merit-based scholarship if you had good grades in high school, did well on a sports team, or have specific talents or traits. Some scholarships are even available for students preparing for skilled trades careers.ⁱⁱ, ⁱⁱⁱ
