This is a PIECES-OF-THE-PUZZLE question.
Don't solve.
Determine whether there is SUFFICIENT information to solve.

Statement 1: In total, six scholarships will be granted.
A piece is missing: Are the scholarships all of the SAME type or of DIFFERENT types?
Without this information, we cannot determine the number of ways to distribute the scholarships.
INSUFFICIENT.

Statement 2: An equal number of scholarships will be granted at each scholarship level.
A piece is missing: How MANY of each type are being granted?
Without this information, we cannot determine the number of ways to distribute the scholarships.
INSUFFICIENT.

Statements 1 and 2 together:
Now we have ALL OF THE PIECES of the puzzle: two of each type of scholarship are being granted.
Thus, the total number of possible distributions can be determined.
SUFFICIENT.

The correct answer is C.
