Scholarship

The official meaning of the word scholarship refers to academic study or achievement within learning at a high level.
It can also refer to a grant or payment to support the student’s education.
However, the word scholar is from the Ancient Latin word “schola”, meaning “school”, which led on to the Medieval Latin word “scholaris”, meaning “pupil”.
Learning, education and schooling are not the same thing.
  • Learning: the cognitive process of acquiring new skills or knowledge, usually self-taught. Learning is a lifelong process and requires self-study.
  • Education: knowledge and information acquired through instruction or coaching, usually passed on from your ancestors.
  • Schooling: instructed to follow a curriculum, program or doctrine, involving punishment if not followed. The opposite of self-study.
Being schooled is not an education.
Further to this, you must consider the one offering the scholarship and payment therein, and question their motives and what strings are attached?
For example: a student would receive schooling to become a doctor, and once completed would then require a licence from a higher authority to practice the program, under conditions.
