Hey everyone, I'm a junior looking into colleges and wondering if there are scholarships that have pretty low eligibility requirements? I'm trying to explore options that might be easier to qualify for. Any suggestions or places to start would be awesome!
Sure, there are definitely scholarships out there that have lower eligibility requirements. Here are a few examples:
1. The $2,000 "No Essay" College Scholarship from Appily: As the name suggests, there's no essay required, making this a simple application process. This scholarship is awarded on a monthly basis, so you can apply each month for another chance at the money.
2. The DoSomething.org Easy Scholarships: These are great options for students who don't want to write essays or fit into a specific 'type' of student. They usually require you to participate in a social change campaign. The more campaigns you participate in, the more chances you have to win.
3. Scholarship Points $10,000 scholarship: This scholarship requires you to accumulate points by taking surveys, reading blogs, or playing games. It's a lottery style, so the more things you do to accumulate points, the higher chances you have to win.
Another place to look for scholarships is your local community. Local businesses or civic organizations often sponsor scholarships for students from the area. The eligibility requirements are generally less stringent, and because they're local, the pool of applicants is usually smaller.
Remember, every bit of financial aid can help, so even these scholarships with 'lower' qualifications are worth your time. Good luck!
