Scholarships are financial grants given to a student to aid the financial burdens of his/her study. It may be in the form of research grant, tuition fee payment or an arrangement in place for outright waiver.
A scholarship can be awarded by the Government, a cooperate organization, an individual or an institution of learning. Usually, the beneficiary gives nothing back in return. The PTDF, Commonwealth, Erasmus, DAAD, Chevening, Fulbright, Google, ISP are some examples in this regard.
Scholarships are awarded for Academic Excellence, Community Services, Essay Quality etc.

Beneficiaries of GA funding must serve as Teaching Assistant, Research assistant, Sport Coach or admission representative for the University or Department offering funding. It is not a Free of Charge but a barter.
To this end; because in GA funding the University requires service in exchange for funding, Academic Excellence is not usually the first consideration. Ability and Aptitude is preferred over Academic Excellence.
This is why Graduates with 2.2 or 3rd class who have built research ability, Data Analytics skills or sport coaching aptitude will be preferred over a first class graduate in a Graduate Assistantship Funding offer.
