Curious about what scholarship means to scholars from different countries.
Scholarships in Mexico cover mainly 3 forms:
1)you receive a monthly payment to support yourself and pay school fees while you study, this scholarship is provided by the government.
2)you don´t receive the monthly payment, but you do not pay fees at the school, this scholarship is provided by the institution where you study.
3) you receive a monthly payment and you do not pay the fees at the school, this scholarship is generally provided by non-profit organizations.
The options 1 and 2 are more common than option 3.
I hope this is the answer to your question, because it was not very clear for me.
In México (possibly elsewhre it might be similar), different kinds of scholarships exist; for instance, for students and for scholars.
Mrs. Ofelia Valdés answered concerning student ones. Institutional (the university or research center where ones works), and national scholarships are the two most representative ones offered for professors. The previous have rankings (with corresponding amounts) are based in certain merits.
Nevertheless, from my personal point of view, México rewarding policy is not at its best since it mostly focuses in paper number and JCR journal impact; practically ignoring technological developments and applied science impacts, which are more important for a country as ours.
