An academic scholarship is a financial award given to students with good academic results and school performance, it lowers the overall cost of study. Not all students are eligible for academic scholarships. The university admissions committee determines who is eligible for this scholarship, as well as its amount.
Each university has different requirements, often looking at grade point average in high school(GPA) and scores on various admissions tests. Other academic activities such as internships sometimes count as well.

For American sports coaches, it is often also very interesting if you are a good student and can secure an academic scholarship. This in fact means for the athletic coach that he/she needs a lower athletic scholarship to make it financially attractive for you to come to this university.
