Merit Scholarships do exist, but to nowhere near the same extent as they exist in the US university circuit.

I studied Physics, Mechanics, Computer Science and "General Studies" :) Tried to do German but gave that up as I was particularly crap at it. Or maybe too lazy.

gah, all of that would go over my head, except maybe comp sci
I hated physics when I took it in HS, and I must admit I have no idea what general studies are

General Studies is uhhm, exactly what it says. Like general knowledge. It's not a "real" course and is often excluded when requirements are given for courses and things.

There's a decent description of it.
