How to list total number of scholarships per department in SQL - sql

Question

I have 2 tables that look like this where I want to query how many scholarships (from Tuition table) each department (from Student table) has distributed:
I am thinking a join is necessary but am not sure how to do so.

Answer 1

Create tables
create table students (
sid int auto_increment primary key,
name varchar(100),
email varchar(100),
department varchar(100)
);
create table tutions (
id int auto_increment primary key,
sid int,
cost int,
scholarships int,
duedate timestamp default current_timestamp
);
Sample data
insert into students (name, email, department)
values
('John Doe', 'john#abc.xyz', 'B'),
('Jane Doe', 'jane#abc.xyz', 'A'),
('Jack Doe', 'jack#abc.xyz', 'C'),
('Jill Doe', 'jill#abc.xyz', 'B');
insert into tutions (sid, cost, scholarships)
values
(1, 1000, 2),
(2, 1000, 1),
(3, 1000, 7),
(4, 1000, 2);
Query (department-wise total scholarships)
SELECT department, sum(scholarships) as scholarships
FROM students s
JOIN tutions t ON s.sid = t.sid
GROUP BY department
Output

Answer 2

Not sure It's something you want? And not sure scholarships is a number or name of scholarship? So I doubt it's a name as varchar string type.
### dummy record
CREATE TABLE students (
psu_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
firstname VARCHAR NOT NULL,
lastname VARCHAR NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR NOT NULL,
department VARCHAR NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE tuition (
tuition_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
student_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
semeter_cost INTEGER NOT NULL,
scholarships VARCHAR NOT NULL,
due_date DATE NOT NULL
);
INSERT INTO students VALUES (1, 'John', 'Hello', 'Jonh#email.com', 'Engineering');
INSERT INTO students VALUES (2, 'Bella', 'Fuzz', 'Bella#email.com', 'Computer');
INSERT INTO students VALUES (3, 'Sunny', 'World', 'Sunny#email.com', 'Science');
INSERT INTO tuition VALUES (1, 1, 4000, 'first_class_en', '2022-05-09' );
INSERT INTO tuition VALUES (2, 2, 3000, 'nobel', '2022-05-09' );
INSERT INTO tuition VALUES (3, 3, 5000, 'hackathon', '2022-05-09' );
INSERT INTO tuition VALUES (4, 1, 4500, 'second_class_en', '2022-05-09' );
-----------------
### query
SELECT s.department, count(t.scholarships)
FROM students s
JOIN tuition t
ON s.psu_id = t.student_id
GROUP BY s.department
### output
department, total_scholarships
