Yadiel · Answer 2

A Pell Grant is a type of money which is provided to students by the government to pay for college. These grants do not have to be repaid. Hence, the third case (Nathan) is a pell grant.

Student loan is a loan that students take for higher education. This loan pays for their college/tuition fee, books etc. This loan has to be repaid in a few years time. Hence, the second case (Anita) is student loan.

Merit-based scholarship is awarded to outstanding students in fields of academics, sports, artistry etc. Hence, the first case (Richard) is a merit based scholarship.
