Q&A: What scholarships can I apply for without have to write an essay/personal statement?

by alex drennan

if you could give me sites to look at that would be great! I can’t seem to find any.

In my own experience, there aren’t any outside of the school you are attending that don’t want at least some information about you (personal statement). Donors want to know where their money is going and who it is benefiting. Essays let you state your opinion on a topic (great for some types of organizational scholarships), and the personal statement lets you shine and share any hard challenges you’ve had to overcome in the past to be where you are today and talk about what you see yourself doing in the future. Good Luck! Writing ain’t so bad once you get used to it!

Hello how are you? There are plenty of websites that you can use to find scholarships. Use every available resource to help you find scholarships. The source listed below had an article about 2009 scholarships including one that you will be entered in just for creating an account with a scholarship search! Good Luck I hope this helps you.

I’m planning on going to a 4-year college in the mainland but the out of state tuition is around $ 12,000 annually. Can someone try to help me find easy to get scholarships without writing any essays or Personal Statements?

Most scholarships have some type of personal statement or essay required but www.fastweb.com is a great tool to get you started in the search for scholarships.

Go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ its not that much of a grant but its a start about $ 2 – $ 3,000 a semster and there is no essays! Just a little spending money at least.

Scholarship is a better way to get money for your education. There are many programms offering scholarships and government grants offering money for educatio.

Its a policy voilation of yahoo if i post any link here.
Just mail me at solidoffer11@yahoo.com with subjet Money for Education. i will send a link of best website where you can find best scholarships and government grants you never heard.

Best wishes

sorry, most require essays. and if you want the money bad enough, you’ll do the essays.

dont get turned off because they require essays, there are sites that help with essays online… and its free. they have tips, samples, etc.

i dont know your interests and details, i’ll just post all that i’ve found.

There are government loans & grants, and then there are private loans & scholarships.

try to aim for grants/scholarships more… they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying. Scholarships usually have a 1 or 2 page application, and require an essay. Take your time with the essay, so yours stands out.

every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc

here are some links with a HUGE list of what is available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for.

Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it.

OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing.
