What's the Difference?

Scholarships, grants, and loans all serve as a launching pad from high school to college; they all help to cover the costs of tuition, textbooks, and room and board. However, the crucial difference is that scholarships and grants do not need to be paid back, whereas loans must be paid back with interest. Because of this one reason, we strongly suggest scholarships and grants over loans. See below to learn what differentiates a scholarship from a grant.

  • Scholarships — Awarded on the basis of merit and achievement.
  • Grants — Awarded on the basis of financial need.
