I'm looking for college scholarships that don't require essays. Are there any specific ones that are easier to apply for? It would be great to get some leads on where to find these opportunities.
Indeed, there are many scholarships that do not require essays. Some scholarships may award students based on academic achievement, athletic ability, certain contests, or even random drawings. Here are some examples of no-essay scholarships:
1. The Cirkled In "No Sweat" Scholarship: This scholarship only requires students to create a Cirkled In profile.
2. The $2000 Nitro College Scholarship: Open to high school seniors and college students, you simply need to complete an online form.
3. ScholarshipPoints $10,000 Scholarship: These are awarded on a quarterly basis, and you can enter by simply creating a free account on their website.
4. The $2000 "No Essay" College Scholarship by Niche: Another easy scholarship with monthly drawings. Register online to participate.
5. Earn to Learn Scholarship & Savings Program: This is a special type of scholarship where you save $500 and they match 8 times that for a total of $4,500 per year. Requires attending one of the participating universities in Arizona.
Please remember, while no-essay scholarships can be great opportunities, they are often highly competitive due to the number of students who apply for them, so it's wise not to rely on them as your primary source of scholarship funding. It might be worth your time and effort to write a few thoughtful essays for scholarships with less competition. Good luck!
