A scholarship is something offered to you at the end of high school or college if you are lucky. It is typically part or complete funding for further study. They are usually funded by some trust or private donation.

Scholarships are usually subject to some sort of test, this could be academic to attract the best students, financial to allow poorer students to attend a particular college or sporting to get the best (for example) football players to attend a college and play for the team.
A grant-in-aid to a student (as by a college or foundation).

A scholarship is money that a school, organization or other corporation gives to a student. The student must apply and have the proper credentials to win the scholarship. This money is then property of the student and may be unless stated otherwise, be put towards payment of the tuition or to books, etc. It does NOT have to be repaid to the contributor.

Academic scholarships are scholarships awarded based on your grades and test scores. An unweighted GPA of a 3.5, a SAT score above 1200 (Critical Reading and Math combined), and an ACT score above 26 can usually earn you an academic scholarship. However, those scores aren't set in stone. More challenging schools, such as Havard and Yale, want a 4.0 unweighted GPA and SAT scores over 1400 (ACT scores over 30). Other schools will award scholarships for a 3.0 GPA and an 1100 SAT score. For the most accurate estimate of what your scores need to be for an academic scholarship, check out the websites of the colleges you want to attend.

It's sort of when you get to go to school for free after working hard, and proving yourself a good student, samaritan, and person. People who get to go to school on scholerships are lucky and hard working. They tend to do very well in school, and out. Mostly they are commoners or among the poorer people.
