Merit-Based Aid

Merit-based aid refers to financial assistance offered to students based on their achievements or talents, rather than their financial need. This can include scholarships and grants awarded for academic excellence, athletic ability, artistic skills, or other accomplishments. The aim is to recognize and encourage high-performing students while making education more accessible. Unlike need-based aid, which considers a family's financial situation, merit-based aid relies solely on the student's qualifications and potential, providing valuable support to help them pursue their educational goals.
