How to use 奖学金

奖学金 is the normal word for a scholarship at school or university. The most common verbs with it are 获得 (huòdé) to win, 申请 (shēnqǐng) to apply for, and 拿到 (ná dào) to get. Example: 她拿到了大学的奖学金。(Tā ná dào le dàxué de jiǎngxuéjīn.) She got a scholarship from the university.

Break it into three parts: 奖 (jiǎng) award, 学 (xué) study, 金 (jīn) gold or money. An award for studying, paid in money, is a scholarship.

Common mistake: Learners often say 学金 or 奖金 when they mean scholarship. 奖金 (jiǎngjīn) is a bonus or prize money, for example a work bonus. Only 奖学金 means a scholarship for study. Also keep the third tone on 奖 (jiǎng); it is not jiāng.
