Are there any scholarships for high school seniors that don't require essays? I'm juggling a lot and would love to apply for scholarships without extra writing. Any good suggestions?
Numerous scholarships do not require essays. One that comes to mind is the "No Essay" College Scholarship by Niche, which awards $2,000 to one high school senior or college student every month. It's quite easy to apply for, as you just need to fill out a simple entry form.
Another option is the $1,000 Cappex Easy College Money Scholarship, another monthly award for high school students. However, as of 2024, Cappex has changed its name to Appily. The scholarship's application is similar to Niche's; just a simple form without any essays.
The $10,000 ScholarshipPoints scholarship, which is given away four times per year, is another no-essay scholarship. To earn points to put towards the scholarship drawing, you just need to sign up and complete activities on the ScholarshipPoints website.
Scholly also offers a $10,000 no-essay scholarship. Scholly awards funds every month and all you need to apply is to fill out a form.
These are just a few examples. Keep in mind that no-essay scholarships often still require some kind of application, just not a specific essay. It's also worth noting that these scholarships are often more competitive because more students apply due to the simpler application process.
Remember to apply often and consistently to maximize your chances. Good luck with your scholarship search!
