Government scholarships positively influence higher education by making it more accessible for economically disadvantaged students. These scholarships alleviate the financial burden of tuition fees, encouraging students to pursue higher studies in fields such as engineering, medicine, and arts. Additionally, they contribute to greater diversity within institutions and help reduce educational inequality. However, challenges such as inadequate awareness, bureaucratic hurdles, and the need for targeted outreach programs remain. Overall, while government scholarships have been effective, enhancing their reach and impact is essential for promoting sustained higher education.
