Etymology
Scholarship comes from scholar (from Greek scholē, 'free time' that grew to mean 'place of learning' and is the same root as school) plus the ending -ship (like in friendship) which shows a state or support. So a scholarship can be the support you get to study, which is why it often means money to help a student.
