Definition
助学 is a verb-object compound combining 助 (help) and 学 (study/education). It has two main uses: providing financial assistance to students (e.g., 助学贷款 'student loan') and, less commonly, tutoring or giving academic support. In practice, the financial-aid sense dominates — you'll hear it in phrases like 政府助学 (government-sponsored education aid) and 助学计划 (financial aid program). The word often appears as a modifier in nouns.
v.p.
