Financial awards are given to people as scholarships and fellowships to help them with their academic or research endeavours. These grants can be used to pay for a variety of costs, including tuition, books, living expenses, and research expenses.
While fellowships are frequently granted to those who have extraordinary promise in their field of study or research, scholarships are typically offered based on academic success, financial need, or a mix of both.
These awards not only provide financial assistance but also help recipients gain valuable experience and exposure in their respective fields.
