Scholarship on CV
Is it okay/useful to say on CV that you have a scholarship based on income and merit?
I have it but I feel like some employers could exclude me for this detail.

Leave the merit part and kill the income-based part
Thanks!
Scholarship is given based on income and you can keep it year after year if you maintain both low income but also if you do your exams, so it's more income based
Just frame it as some merit-based scholarship...I'm spitballing on the wording to give you an idea:
"_____ scholarship recipient, awarded to (students in top x% of class)" you get the idea
I see
Don't completely lie, didn't want to give you that impression...just fill in those blanks truthfully.
Yes I just glamorise it
To paraphrase a Clipse lyric:
"If Scholarship listing is a must, be merit not income-based..."
I have never ever seen scholarship described as merit or income-based. It's just scholarship. That's it. No idea how many ppl have it, ask that analyst who analyzed 500+ PE exits to run some benchmarking on this too, he'd be happy to oblige
Itaque debitis iusto earum. Corrupti nostrum reprehenderit nemo ipsa. Et recusandae ratione accusamus fuga.
