How to Word a Scholarship Award

Scholarships are primarily awarded to students to help them fund their education. The scholarship may be a partial or full award. Getting the scholarship is an exciting time in a student's life. Since scholarships are often funded by associations or groups, it's important to note who is awarding the scholarship and why the scholarship was awarded to the student. You may have a printer run the awards or print them yourself on certificate paper to save time.
