Scholarships vs Loans: The Math
Question 1 of 7
Multiple choice
Why is a $5,000 scholarship worth more than $5,000 in student loans?
Scholarships are taxed differently and end up being worth less
A $5,000 scholarship reduces the bill by $5,000 without loan repayment; borrowing $5,000 requires repaying that principal plus interest and any fees
They are equal, $5,000 is $5,000 regardless of the source
Loans accrue interest at a lower rate than scholarship savings
