I'm on the lookout for scholarships that don't require essays, as I'm not the best at writing them. Does anyone know of any opportunities where I could just submit my application and maybe a resume? It would be great to find options that are straightforward to apply for, considering I have a packed schedule with school and extracurriculars. Any recommendations or experiences with such scholarships would be super helpful!
Absolutely, there are indeed scholarships that don't require essays. It's great to see that you're proactive in searching for these opportunities, as each scholarship can significantly help finance your education.
1. "No Essay" College Scholarship by Appily: As per the name, it doesn't require an essay. You simply need to create an account on Appily and you're automatically entered into a monthly drawing for $2,000.
2. You Deserve It Scholarship: This is another $1,000 scholarship offered by ScholarshipOwl. By registering on their site, you can be entered into the contest.
3. ScholarshipPoints $10,000 Giveaway: ScholarshipPoints offers several different $10,000 scholarship contests throughout the year. You earn points by completing tasks such as taking surveys or reading blogs, and these points can be used to enter the various scholarship contests.
4. C.I.P (College Is Power) Scholarship: This one offers $1,000 to a student planning to start school within the next 12 months. The application is a simple registration form with contact and school information.
Remember though, while essay-free scholarships save time from having to write a piece, they can also be highly competitive due to the sheer number of applicants who apply for them. It's beneficial to apply for both types - those requiring an essay and those that don't, in order to increase your chances of receiving a scholarship. Good luck in your search!
