It can also refer to a grant or payment made to support a student's education, awarded on the basis of academic or other achievement.

Etymology

The term 'scholarship' is derived from the Old French 'escoler', which means to teach or to learn. This, in turn, is derived from the Latin 'schola' meaning school. The term has been in use since the 16th century.
