Hey everyone, as a high school junior, I'm trying to get a head start on college-related stuff, and scholarships are high on the list. Honestly, essays can be daunting with everything else going on in junior year. Are there any no-essay scholarships out there that I could start applying for? If you've had experience with any of them, I'd love to hear how the process went. Thanks!
Absolutely, there's a variety of no-essay scholarships available for high school juniors like yourself! These scholarships typically involve a different kind of task, such as creating a short video, designing a poster, or participating in a contest.
1. "Stuck at Prom" Scholarship Contest: You create outfits made of duct tape with a friend or a date and attend prom with them. The winning couple gets $10,000 in scholarship funds each.
2. The Create-A-Greeting-Card Scholarship from The Gallery Collection: High school students can win a $10,000 scholarship by designing the front of a greeting card. The winning entry will be made into an actual card by The Gallery Collection.
3. ScholarshipPoints $10,000 Scholarship: Students can earn points by doing simple tasks such as reading articles, taking quizzes, and participating in mini-games. Every point you earn counts as an entry in their scholarship drawing. Each quarter they draw one winner for their $10,000 scholarship.
Remember that while these scholarships are easier to apply for with no essays required, they might be more competitive because more students tend to apply. So, don't shy away from scholarships that require essays - they can sometimes be less competitive, and you may have a higher chance of winning if you write a compelling essay! Ultimately, a mix of both types of scholarships can help broaden your scope. Best of luck with your application process!
