This is a quote from a book.
差が生まれるのは、学問に励んだのか励まなかったのか。そこに違いが生じてくる、と綴ってある。
What does 「学問に励む」 mean?
Thank you.

2Have you checked a dictionary? eg ejje.weblio.jp/sentence/content/"学問に励" / jisho.org/search/励む– chocolate ♦Jan 25, 2018 at 16:18

@Chocolate Yes I checked. But my English is not good and I only recently started studying Japanese, so I wasn't exactly sure what the phrase means. Especially the exact meaning of 学問 in the sentence. And thank you for the links. I knew Jisho, but Weblio looks good as well.– reikaJan 25, 2018 at 18:47

To put it simply, it means "study hard."
- 学問⇒study.
- に⇒at, on, to and etc.
- 励む⇒make an effort.
So the phrase directly means "make an effort at studying" or "focus on studying."
