Many students don't bother searching and applying for scholarships under a mistaken belief that they won't qualify for any, or that the process is too time-consuming or difficult. However, there are many thousands of scholarships available to all types of students! And many do not even require an essay!

Below are a list of some of the best scholarships that anyone can apply to in no more than thirty or so minutes-- often quicker than that even (you don't have to write essays either!)

Some scholarships require you to come back and enter again every month.
