Student grants are financial awards given to students to help cover the costs of their education. Unlike loans, grants do not need to be repaid, making them a valuable resource for those pursuing higher education. They are often based on financial need, academic merit, or specific criteria set by the granting organization. Various organizations, including the government and private institutions, offer student grants. These grants can be used for tuition, books, and other educational expenses. Students typically apply for these grants through applications that may require personal information, financial details, and academic records.
