I'm trying to find college scholarships that don't require essays. I've got a pretty busy schedule and writing essays can be tough to squeeze in. Does anyone know of any scholarship opportunities that don't have essay requirements?
Sure, there are plenty of scholarships out there that don't require an essay. Many of these scholarships are more like contests than traditional scholarship applications, with winners chosen by random drawing. Here are some examples to help get you started:
1. "No Essay" College Scholarship by Niche: This is a monthly scholarship of $2,000. All you need to do is create an account on their website.
2. ScholarshipPoints $10,000 Scholarship: ScholarshipPoints offers multiple $10,000 scholarships each year. The more points you earn, the more scholarship drawings you can enter.
3. Discover Student Loans Scholarship Award: Discover randomly draws the name of one lucky winner each month for a $5,000 scholarship. All you need to do is sign up online.
4. $2,000 Nitro College Scholarship: Students or parents can enter on behalf of a student for a chance to win $2,000.
Even though these scholarships don't require an essay, be sure to pay close attention to all of the eligibility and entry rules, and make sure you're applying regularly to increase your chances. Although these scholarships might be less competitive than traditional essay scholarships, they do attract a larger pool of applicants. Good luck!
