In the language of admission and financial aid offers, a scholarship and a grant are basically the same thing. Each is considered "gift aid" which means they do not need to be paid back. However, this doesn't mean there aren't some "strings" attached. Many scholarships and grants require the recipient to focus study in a particular major. Others have a grade average requirement to keep the scholarship or grant over the college experience. Students need to make certain they know the conditions under which they accept and can maintain gift aid.
