Not everyone can boast an amazing GPA, a scroll of extracurricular activities, and
top marks on their standardized tests. That doesn't mean you're at a disadvantage
when it comes to applying for – and winning – scholarships. It only means you have
to be a little more creative.
If you're a good writer who is able to come up with essays on a variety of topics,
a scholarship essay contest could be a natural option for you. While some scholarship
essay contests will still ask you to describe those qualities mentioned above as
part of the application process, even if they're not weighted heavily among the
judges of that award, many more only ask that you produce a thoughtful, well-crafted
essay based on a topic of that scholarship provider’s choice. Some will ask you
to get political, some will challenge you to come up with workable solutions to
problems facing the country, and some will ask you to describe your passion for
a particular field of study or potential career. Luckily for you, even if you're
struggling to get going on a topic, we have a number of resources to help you come
up with a winning,
effective scholarship essay.
We've compiled a list of scholarship essay contests below. They are not necessarily
targeting the
average" student, and will require some work on your part as you come up
with that winning essay. But they could feel all the more rewarding once you land
one to help you fund that college education, because you put in that added effort.
