Financial aid for study
Money that a student gets to help pay for school, often because they are good at studying or have a special skill.
Schema d'uso:
to award/grant [someone] a scholarship

|
fellowship (Usually refers to funding for graduate-level study or research.)
Contrari
tuition fee (Money that must be paid for education; opposite in that it is a cost rather than financial support.)
