Where to look for no-essay scholarships?
I'm a sophomore in high school, and I want to start applying for easy-to-get scholarships. Is there anywhere I can find these types of scholarships?

Hello, Maria !
It is awesome that you are ready to start applying for scholarships early in tenth grade ! That is wonderful !
It's not so much that any scholarships are "easy" or difficult to get, it's more like you'll need to apply for very many to increase your chances of obtaining some. Starting early like this will also help. Once you submit your scholarship application to a donor, there is a committee that will review all the applications they receive. Based on how many they will give out that year, they choose that many to provide to the students. It's just a matter of applying and waiting to hear back.
Some no essay scholarships that you can apply for are the $25,000 no-essay scholarship from Niche, Sallie offers a monthly $2,000 no-essay scholarship sweepstakes, which is open to high school juniors and seniors, the “1000 Bold Points No-Essay Scholarship”, the “Nielsen Rewards No-Essay Scholarship” and the “Survey Junkie Brand Influencer No-Essay Scholarship", and the CollegeVine Dream School Scholarship.
There is also The Around the Corner from College No-Essay Scholarship , the Don’t Mess With Texas Scholarship Program, and The Texas Educational Opportunity Grant Program. Since you plan to pursue a medical career, you may also want to apply for some career based scholarships, whether they are essay or no essay. Every little bit helps. You can apply for the The Texas Medical Excellence Scholarship. Many of the medical scholarships are from the actual college you would attend and many are available to apply for if you go to Medical School. Explore what exact medical career you want and you can do a search based on what you'd be majoring in.
Remember to apply for very many. It's a lot of work but well worth it to get some to financial help with college expenses. If you need help writing essays, you can ask a friend or relative to assist you with it because it is going to be well worth applying for every scholarship available to you.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the best !

First, start by exploring local scholarships through your school, community organizations, and by asking your teachers or guidance counselors for recommendations, then apply early and widely on websites like Scholarships.com, Unigo.com, Cappex.com, College Board’s Big Future, and Niche.com, which list easy or no-essay scholarships, including programs like the Courage to Grow Scholarship and Niche’s No Essay Scholarship, using platforms like ScholarSnapp and RaiseMe to apply more efficiently, while always verifying that scholarships are legitimate and avoiding sites that ask for payment.

I would consider looking for potential scholarships at the University College Foundation because this is an area that many people may not know about.
Much of successful scholarship attainment, has to do with where you look for the scholarships. They can come from two primary sources, either private or public. One area people might not know about is the College Foundation option, at local colleges and universities.
College Foundations, manage the college endowment, but they also supervise private scholarship donations, and connect many of their scholarships to specific subjects, activities, majors, ethnicities and classifications. These are normally scholarships, that are supported by private individuals or businesses.
You might find scholarships for students who are first generation college students (neither parent has a college degree), students who are focusing their major on teaching, science subjects, engineering, social sciences, humanities, STEM subjects, or students who might be of a certain ethnicity.
Most of the time potential applicants can find nearly anything that fits into a classification or subject that defines them or their future goals.
All colleges and universities have foundations that offer scholarships. I would log into the website (of the college you are attending or wishing to attend), and research the ones which apply to you and your particular interests. Including the ones that have no essay requirements.
