 Hi! Can you tell me if "grant holder " is the right term to use when a college student ( s ) spends some hours working on campus in order to pay his/her tuition? Thank you in advance and have a great weekend, everybody! Mary |

I �d probably say the student is on work-study. If the work is teaching, the student may have a fellowship. Nothing official here, that �s just me. |

What MoodyMoody said is true. In the USA, we would not say "grant holder," for the situation you are describing. It would be called a work-study program, and then the student would simply be a student with "work-study."
If, however, someone was given a special grant, we would call them a "grantee", not grant holder. Grants in the USA are usually not associated with students though (businesses and professionals); if it is money given for a student to attend college, then it is called a "scholarship." In such cases the student would then be a "scholarship holder."

Yes, students often receive grants from the government (federal or state). One popular one is the Pell Grant.

Thanks a lot, dear friends. I guess what works in this case is: " the student is on a work-study program." Thanks again! Mary |
