Actually a lot of disability pensions are based on criteria ie do they merit it. That would make the student loan, just a loan not welfare, but the scholarship a kind of welfare... which is what it is because they were supposed to be there to allow good students in who cannot otherwise afford it.

let us clear something up. The government in the USA of america do not hav government scholarships for university.

That being said scholarships are to reward students and are not welfare because financial stauts has notihng to do with them. Their purpose is to reward not to support financially otherwise poor students.
