English term or phrase: College Grant
Grants and scholarships are not the same things, and the two terms are often confused. Scholarships are usually merit based. This means that they are given to prospective recipients based on desired qualities such as athletic ability, academic achievement or involvement in a certain extra-curricular activity. Scholarships can also be based on particular traits like ancestral background or group affiliation. Grants tend to be need-based and are available to students based on criteria such as family income.
