That almost sounds too good to be true; No essay Scholarships for Freshmen in College. Those words would have been music to my ears back in the day. It didn't matter what level of schooling you were in, no essay scholarships just did not exist.
Not too many years ago, if you were a freshman in college and needed a scholarship, after checking the application deadline date, you checked the essay requirements. The first question you asked yourself was, "Do I know anything about this topic without doing extensive research?", and "Can I honestly write that many words and still sound like a reasonably intelligent person?". If the answer was no to either question, you dropped that offer and moved on to the next.
Fortunately times change and also the world of college scholarship opportunities. A quick internet search will find dozens, if not hundreds of free college scholarship opportunities, most of which have no essay required. They are all very easy to apply for. Many just have a single application page. You simply provide your personal contact information and a preferred field of study. Talk about stress free.
You can find no essay scholarships for moms and dads, for working adults and folks with a military affiliation. Basically, the only requirement for this type of scholarship offer is you need to be attending, or planning to attend, college. No pressure there.
I think the best part of these offers is that they are awarded monthly for as much as $10,000. So if you missed the registration deadline last month, go register this month. And if you aren't awarded the scholarship this month, just go register again next month. If you are looking for easy this is it. Just don't confuse easy with guaranteed.
Here's an important bit of advise. Don't ever pay to submit your application for any of these no essay scholarships. They are free. If you get an email saying you've won a scholarship, but you must provide your bank account number, Don't Do It. At least not until you verify whether or not it's legitimate. Most of the offers you will find are genuine, however you need to be aware of scams.
Being a freshman in college can bring enough pressure to break just about anyone. No one needs the added stress of writing a 1000 word essay on world economics in an attempt to get the money you may desperately need.
