Scholarships That Require No Essay

Post-secondary education is getting more expensive. CollegeBoard, the group that handles the SAT test, states that in 2009-2010, the average private education is $26,273 a year for tuition and public education at 4-year schools is $7,020 a year. These numbers do not include room and board. Fortunately, there is $168 billion in financial aid available.

Many scholarships require essays from prospective student applicants. Still, scholarships are available that have no such requirement.
