There is a lot of confusion around these terms, and it’s important to understand the difference between fellowship and scholarship to make the right choice for your situation. So here’s a quick overview of each:

Fellowship: Fellowship is a type of financial aid typically requiring you to do community service or contribute to your university’s research. You are usually not required to attend classes while receiving fellowship support.

Scholarship: A scholarship is a type of financial aid that typically requires you to attend classes while receiving financial support. You are usually not required to do community service or contribute to your university’s research.

There are several factors to consider when choosing between fellowship and scholarship support. For example, a fellowship may be a better option if you want to focus on your studies. On the other hand, if you want to focus on your community service or research, a scholarship may be a better option.

Overall, deciding what is more important is attending classes or completing your community service or research. You can find more information on both types of financial aid at your university’s website or by talking to an advisor.
