Need-based Scholarships

Need-based scholarships are financial aid awards designed to help students who demonstrate financial need to afford education costs. These scholarships assess a family’s income, assets, and overall financial situation, determining how much aid a student might require. Unlike merit-based scholarships, which rely on academic or extracurricular achievements, need-based scholarships focus solely on the financial circumstances of the applicant. They can cover tuition, fees, and sometimes living expenses, making higher education more accessible for individuals from low- to moderate-income backgrounds. This support aims to reduce barriers and promote equal opportunities in education.
