Easy Scholarships You Should Be Applying to Every Single Month
Easy Scholarships to Apply for This Month, Next Month, The Month After That, And…
Easy scholarships for college are hands down the best kind of scholarships.
There are no essays to write or recommendation letters to collect. They’re just simple.
And:
When you’ve already got enough on your plate as a busy student, simple scholarship applications are SUPER appreciated.
The best part is:
Pretty much anyone can apply and pretty much anyone can win!
The scholarships on this list basically work like a sweepstakes. The winners are randomly selected from all the entries.
That means equal odds for everyone.
So there’s nothing to lose by just tossing your name into the pool. The more chances to win money for school, the better right?
To sum it up with a quote:
“‘You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take’- Wayne Gretzky”- Michael Scott
Plus:
You can (and most definitely should) apply for these easy scholarships every single month.
Because the more often you apply, the more you’ll up your odds of winning. If I were you I’d bookmark this page for later. (;
