$2,000 No Essay Scholarship

Any junior, senior, or college student who wants a real shot at money without writing anything. This is the one to hand a student who says they do not have time to apply for scholarships.

• Age 16 or older at the time of entry
• Legal resident of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory
• Must meet one of four categories: a high school junior or senior who intends to enroll in an accredited U.S. college within a year; a student currently enrolled in an accredited U.S. college; a parent of a high school junior or senior; or a parent of a current college student

• $2,000 paid toward education costs
• No essay, no transcript, no recommendations
• Unlimited monthly re-entry

• A short online form with a few basic questions
• No essay
• No account sign-up required

• Enter every month. Each monthly period is a separate drawing, so 12 entries a year beats one.
• Set a phone reminder for the 28th of each month. Entries submitted after the cutoff roll into the next month, which wastes a cycle.
• Use an email address you actually check. Winners are notified by email and missed notices are forfeited.
• Juniors qualify, not just seniors, so start entering a year earlier than most students do.
• This takes about two minutes. Do it while waiting for something else rather than blocking out time for it.

Sallie awards $2,000 each month. The scholarship is sponsored by SLM Education Services, LLC and administered in partnership with US Sweeps. Deadlines fall on the last day of each month, and entries received after a deadline are considered for the following month.
