<p>
	Scholarship comes in numerous shapes to help you study. It is a financial assistance given to a student to cover expenses. Some scholarships are provided as cash or cheque, amount can vary. Some scholarships are provided by paying a part or tuition/ semester fees. Scholarships also go by the name of Grants and Fellowships so don&rsquo;t get confused with this. In addition to this help, students are also not required to repay for it. You don&rsquo;t have any obligation of returning the money. However, sometimes host may put a condition to work for them after or during the education for a certain period of time.</p>
