Forget both "special" and "nominative", those are wrong suggestions, my mistake.

Now, some of "именные стипендии" (those that are not established in the memory of dead people and therefore not "memorial") are called:

Donor [based] scholarships.

neutral  Dorene Cornwell: nominative applies to grammar. Somehow I suspect the scholarships cover more than grammar. ;-) but maybe spcial nomination scholarships

  -> Something is wrong w/your encoding, Dorene, but nevertheless I agree that my suggestion is wrong. Thanks!//I see. You may want to look it up. Nominative has a meaning of "bearing a person's name"

Another example, probably the most suitable for the context:

Two C.J. Stahlman Memorial Scholarships are awarded annually to Clarion County students in recognition of outstanding academic achievement, integrity, and service.

To The Misha and nuclear: You are very likely referring to a sponsored scholarship, established and named by individual donors.

In that case, probably both should be included, and the answer could be changed to 'memorial and sponsored scholarships'

agree  Jack Doughty

  -> Thanks you, Jack

agree  Elena Iercoşan
1 hr
  -> Thank you

disagree  The Misha: There is not enough in the context to warrant "memorial". You actually need a name of the person in whose memory the scholarship had been established.
3 hrs
  -> That's the problem of the context

agree  nuclear: memorial and sponsored (perhaps "and/or sponsored") sounds right
5 hrs
  -> You have a point here. See the notes added, please.

neutral  Alexander Demyanov: w/nuclear, except for the "alas" part//As for "sponored", do they have to be "именные"? A lot of gov. and private organizations sponsor scholarships, without attaching their names.

  -> Point taken, please see additional notes.
