eligible ... scholarship

Students taking approved/accredited courses are eligible for scholarship help.

A scholarship is awarded by a club, an organization, a business or the university/college.

Students (usually with excellent academic records) are awarded part or all of the tuition fees (the money it costs to take the course).

What does eligible mean and refer?

What is elibile for what?

"The students are elibible for the courses"?
"The courses are eligible for the criteria"?

In this case, "eligible" means "qualified".

The students are eligible for scholarship money because of their high grades and good recomendations--providing that they are taking courses that meet the requirements.

Tuition monies would probably not be paid for frivolous courses: "Practical Fortune Telling" or "Scrapbooking as Art"

Also, tuition money probably would not be paid if "Introduction to Physics" were taught in your Uncle's basement (and your Uncle has not background in physics or teaching) instead a similar course on campus taught by someone academically qualified.

Thank you Noddy. Your words are helpful, and made me giggle a lot
