individual schools, by local / community organizations,
and by private national institutions (e.g., The National
Merit Foundation). Scholarships do not have to be repaid,
and are generally awarded based on some combination of:
-
Academic criteria
- Organizational or group memberships
- Participation in sporting or other extracurricular activities
