[someone] is a scholar of [subject]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use “scholar” to mean any “student.” In modern English, “scholar” usually means an expert or academic, not just a person who goes to school. Use “student” or “pupil” for general learners, and “scholar” for highly educated specialists.

academic (Often used for someone whose job is teaching and researching at a university; “scholar” slightly more strongly emphasizes deep learning and expertise.)

student with a scholarship
A student who gets money or special support to study because of good results or need, usually through a formal scholarship.
Vartosenos šablonas:
[someone] is a [program] scholar at [institution]
Dažna klaida:
Learners may confuse this with the general ‘expert’ meaning. In phrases like “Rhodes Scholar” or “Fulbright scholar,” it means a funded student, not necessarily a famous expert. Context with named programs or funding usually signals this sense.
Sinonimai
scholarship student (More transparent and informal; directly states that the student studies with a scholarship, while “scholar” can sound more official or part of a title.)
Antonimai
self-funded student (A student who pays for their own studies, contrasting with a scholar whose studies are paid for by a scholarship.)
