merit-based awards

Merit-based awards are scholarships or honors given to individuals based on their achievements, skills, or talents, rather than financial need. These awards recognize excellence in areas like academics, arts, sports, or leadership. They aim to reward outstanding performance and motivate continued excellence. Typically, recipients must meet specific criteria, such as high grades or exceptional accomplishments, and often go through a selection process. Merit-based awards can provide financial support, prestige, and opportunities for further development, helping recipients advance their education or careers based on their merit.
