Hello there! I'm starting to look at scholarships and I'm a bit overwhelmed by the number there are. Can anyone suggest some scholarships that are relatively easy to apply for and don’t have a super low acceptance rate? Thanks!
Certainly, scholarships can be a great way to offset the cost of college, and there are many that aren't highly competitive or require complex applications. Here are a couple you might consider:
1. "No Essay" College Scholarship: This is a $2,000 scholarship offered by Niche every month. It doesn't require an essay or GPA minimum. They draw a winner at random each month.
2. ScholarshipPoints $10,000 Scholarship: This scholarship works on a point system. You earn points by completing activities like quizzes, reading articles, and more. Each point is a chance to win.
3. Dr. Pepper Tuition Giveaway: This scholarship gives away thousands of dollars each year to several students. You only need to create a video explaining how you'll make an impact in your community.
4. DoSomething.org Scholarships: DoSomething.org offers several scholarships year-round for participating in social campaigns.
5. Courage to Grow Scholarship: This is a $500 scholarship offered each month. You just have to submit a brief essay explaining why you should win.
Remember, while these scholarships are relatively easy to apply for, you should also allocate time to apply for scholarships that require more effort. They often have fewer applicants due to the work involved, so your chances might be higher. Lastly, don't overlook local scholarships offered by businesses or organizations in your community. Best of luck with your scholarship search!
