You will be granted a loan after you reach a certain age (21 years and above). They have over 950 scholarship programs every year some of them are fully funded whereas some are partial. There are a lot of scholarships available as well. Academic performance and leadership, as well as co-curricular achievements, are frequently used to make decisions. Some educational institutions, particularly those at the university level, may provide scholarships that are only available to students at that school.
