     A common misconception (误解) -about scholarships is that they are only available for the smartest

students with the highest GPAs. However, this just isn't even close to true. There are scholarships out

there for every type of student seeking a college education. Let's take a look at each type a bit more in

depth.

     Academic Scholarships

     Academic scholarships are also often referred to as merit (优点) scholarships, though a merit

scholarship can mean anything that has some level of contest to it. These are fox; the students with the

4.0 GPAs, the years as a part of several extracurricular (课外的) activities and the well- rounded

applications. They typically have the highest payouts and are considered very well- known as they are

often national awards.

     Athletic Scholarships

     For students with strong academics (学业的) and physical skills, athletic scholarships are the way

to go. There is practically a scholarship for every single sport, from volleyball to football; gymnastics to

cheerleading. So, if you are good at anything physical, you should definitely pursue an athletic scholarship.

     Scholarships for Minorities

     There are also many scholarships for minorities available. Some of these are general and for "all

minorities as a collective whole, while others are intended for individual ethnic (种族的) groups. It is

also a good idea to apply for a minority scholarship if you are part of fully of a certain ethnicity. You

will get to represent your culture and possibly win money -- what more could you ask for?

     Scholarships for Women

     As with the scholarships for minorities above, there are also scholarships specifically for women.

Since colleges were dominated (主宰) by men for many years, scholarships have been created for

strong, career-minded women that need assistance paying for college expenses. If you are female, it is

strongly recommended you pursue a scholarship for women. Moreover, scholarships for women are

typic

ally available in just about any field. Be specific!
