Educational Grants
Edit

Educational grants are non-repayable financial awards provided to support participation in education or training, typically allocated to students, institutions, or projects based on defined eligibility criteria such as financial need, policy priorities, academic status, or program objectives [1][2][3][4]-. They are designed to reduce direct and indirect costs of education (e.g., tuition, fees, materials, or related support) and thereby improve access, persistence, and completion under specified funding rules [1][2]. In public policy and institutional finance, educational grants are characterized by targeted allocation, conditional use, administrative accountability, and reporting requirements, distinguishing them from loans (repayable), scholarships (often merit-centered), and general budget transfers [2][3][4]. The term therefore refers to structured grant-based funding mechanisms within education systems, rather than any informal or unrestricted financial assistance [1][2][3][4].
