What Are Competitive Scholarships and Fellowships?

Competitive scholarships and fellowships are prestigious grant awards and funding opportunities for student research, study, teaching, and travel. 

 The terms  fellowship  and  scholarship are sometimes used interchangeably to describe a funding grant for academic achievement. Fellowship grants may include living expenses, travel or research funds, or a service commitment in addition to covering tuition costs, often for a period of one or more years.
