The following is concise list of information relating to Federal scholarships.
| | A scholarship is a sum of money donated to a student to help pay for his or her education or training and any associated costs. |
| | Scholarships can range from small amounts up to the full cost of schooling. |
| | They are based on financial need, academic merit, athletic ability, or a wide variety of other criteria set by the organizations that provide the scholarships. Frequently, students must meet minimum academic requirements to be considered for a scholarship. |
| | Other qualifying requirements—such as intended major field of study, heritage, or group membership—may be added by the organization providing the scholarship. |
| | Scholarships can be provided by a wide variety of institutions, including educational institutions, State and local governments, private associations, social groups, and individuals. |
| | There are no federally awarded scholarships based on academic merit. |
| | Most large scholarships are awarded to students by the institution they plan to attend. |
| | Students who have received State scholarships and plan to attend a school in another State should check with their State to see if the scholarship can be transferred. |
| | Information on scholarships is typically available from high school guidance counselors and local libraries. |
| | Additional scholarship information is available from State higher education agencies. |
