In previous years when intending students or a student exclaims aloud in excitement – I got a scholarship! – it usually is received with mixed feelings as some category of people assume that those who require scholarships to study or further their study or make their study easier lack the necessary funds and are termed – Poor or financially handicapped.
However, is this the case? The simple answer is No!
The word scholarship was coined from ‘Scholar,’ meaning exceptional student with a high academic record.
But, recently, it isn’t just about academic record anymore; various scholarship boards consider such individuals’ contributions to the society they live in, either as a volunteer or as a worker and lots more.
