Similar to conducting a free scholarship search, applying for no essay scholarships is one of the easiest ways to land free money for college. Scholarships that do not require essays generally require less effort, but your chances at winning scholarships are lower than standard ones because you're competing against a larger applicant pool. If you are interested in no essay scholarships, you may also be interested in easy scholarships.
Although essays are not a requirement, some no essay scholarship applications may call for a video, artwork, music or other work samples/presentations in lieu of a scholarship essay.

In this respect, no essay scholarships are not necessarily "no effort" scholarships; they just require a different kind of application and effort. On the other hand, if you are a student who enjoys writing, you will want to check out these essay scholarships.
