These scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic excellence after careful examination of a student’s academic performance. Student’s profile evaluation is done on the basis of factors such as previous academic performance indicated by GPA and scores in standardized tests like SAT/GRE or GMAT.

These scholarships are awarded to students based on exemplary performance in academics, co-curricular or extracurricular activity. While most USA Universities link this scholarship with academic excellence, it could also be awarded to students who have performance in artistic or athletic fields. A student’s financial background is not given any consideration while evaluating the amount of reward under this scholarship.

Commonly known as financial aid or grant, these scholarships are awarded to students belonging to the financially weaker section. To be eligible for need-based scholarship, a student must have a strong overall profile as per the university’s admission eligibility criteria and should be eligible to show proof of the weak financial condition of sponsors. While international students are also eligible for this scholarship, the majority of the USA Universities restrict this benefit to only domestic students.

USA Universities offer athletic scholarships to the students who have showed exemplary performance in sports. These scholarships are for the students representing the University in some sports or athletic event individually or playing in the University team. Students aiming to get athletic scholarships have to meticulously search for the right match, as all the Universities have teams playing for some specific sport and are interested in awarding scholarships to athletes having track record of playing that sport only.

These scholarships are University specific, awarded by individuals like alumni or by some trust in the memory of some individuals or by corporates. The criteria for these scholarships varies depending on the cause for which these individuals are working. Some of the examples of such scholarships are TATA Scholarship at Cornell University, The Gates Scholarship, Hope Scholarship in the memory of Valerie Grace Wheeler etc.
