Education has become very expensive and it is very difficult for you to take care of your education all by yourself. If you are a good student, then you stand the chance of getting scholarships.
   
However, in some cases it may become very difficult for you to rely on scholarship money. It may also happen that not the full amount needed for our Education has been provided for the scholarship.
   
In such cases you may consider taking out short term loans. These can be repaid back if you can get into a part time job while you are working. You can then take out the loan and repay it back before completing your studies. However, the importance of scholarships in your life as a student is very essential and may be the stepping stone to a bright future.

Some of the reasons why scholarships are very important for a student are as follows.

1. Nurtures talents: Scholarships are the difference between whether or not you get to just attend college or remain in the college. It helps in nurturing of talents that would have otherwise gone to waste due to lack of finances. It helps those who have the merit to do well in life and can make it in the future. It would be a pity if a good student would have to discontinue studies because of lack of funds. Thus, it nurtures your talents and your career ambitions in order to provide you with a better future.

2. Create equality: When a student is unable to carry on with his or her studies due to lack of funds, then that is a dismal scenario. Scholarships help in letting even those who can not afford an education, be educated. Thus, it creates a certain kind of equality by letting in those who can not afford education study like the ones who can afford it.

3. Provide overall coverage: Scholarships can provide you with whatever you need to get educated. It provides for almost all the costs that are related to undertaking a degree. They cover living costs and tuition fees. They also cover additional academic resources. These may include books or computers that are of help in the process of education.

4. Money does not need to be repaid: One of the greatest advantages of scholarships is that you do not have to repay the money. This implies that you do not need to undertake the pains to get into a part time job and repay the money, nor do you have to be constantly worried about repaying the money in future.

These are a few advantages of scholarships that you must keep in mind.
