What a scholarship can include

Tuition

At many universities, full tuition for every year of the degree, paid directly to the university. Some offer partial tuition instead — each university's page says which.

A living stipend

At some universities, paid monthly through the academic year, so a seat does not depend on a second job.

Books and materials

At some universities, an annual allowance for the things a course actually requires.

Housing, where offered

Some universities include it, some contribute. Each one says which on its page.
