Scholarships are gifts. They do not need to be repaid. There are thousands of them, offered by schools, employers, individuals, private companies, nonprofits, communities, religious groups, and professional and social organizations. Many scholarships are geared toward particular groups of people. For instance, there are scholarships for women or graduate students and some are available because you come from a certain background.
Each scholarship has its own requirements. The scholarship’s website should give you an idea of who qualifies for the scholarship and how to apply. Make sure you read the application carefully, fill it out completely, and meet the application deadline.
IAU has compiled a number of different scholarship opportunities that its students may be eligible for. Scholarship opportunities can be found on IAU’s website: Scholarships
