Difference between Fellowship and Scholarship?

Hi, anyone knows the difference between fellowship and scholarship? thanks

To my understanding, scholarship is free money given to you.  Fellowship is something that you have to work (as TA, RA) in order to receive that amount of money.

Can be fairly treated/regarded as same thing.

TA/RA叫assistantship,中文应该是助学金,你必须要干活儿,做reseach或teaching.

而fellowship和scholarship才是奖学金,也就是传说中的只拿钱不干活儿的.少的有几千块,不够填牙缝儿的,多的也许能cover学费和生活费,能得这种的应该都是超级大牛了吧...通常这种ship都有个名字,也许是捐钱人的名字,也许是政府的资金...

美国学校的financial aid名目繁多,眼花缭乱...大家都尽量申请,不要想当然的被某些言论迷惑,比如master都是自费啦(我申的master就给我fellowship了,虽然是小钱),还有觉得自己不够优秀就放弃申请啦...不管怎样大家都应该试试,蚂蚱腿也是肉啊...
