(The term '奨学金' encompasses various forms of monetary support for education that do not always have a single word equivalent in English.)
A sum of money, typically non-repayable, provided to students to support their education. This term is broad, encompassing various forms of financial aid, including merit-based scholarships, need-based grants, and other funds intended to promote learning and alleviate the financial burden of tuition and living expenses. Unlike a student loan, it generally does not require repayment, though specific types may have conditions such as maintaining a certain GPA or working in a particular field after graduation.
