There are hundreds of thousands of college grants and scholarships available, but many people will find that most of the scholarships will have specific eligibility requirements that prevent them from applying for those scholarships. Many scholarships are based on criteria such as gender, race, financial status, marital status, military service, location, school, and more. Many people ask if there are "ANY scholarships that have ALMOST NO eligibility requirements so that just about anyone can apply for them? Are there specific scholarships that are for everyone? Are there scholarships for U.S. citizens OR non-U.S. citizens that the only requirement is wanting financial aid so that they can go to school?" The answer is YES, there ARE such scholarships. It appears that there are NOT a lot of these type of scholarships, but there are some.
Following is a list of some college grants and scholarships that have the LEAST amount of eligibility requirements so just about any United States citizen or legal resident can apply for these grants and scholarships for funding their education beyond high school. This type of scholarship is very hard to find. We feel that there are more out there, BUT we do not know where they are. However, we will continue to look and add what we find to this web page. Although we have tried to find scholarships with no restrictions, we have to admit that some of these have a restriction or two. For example, some of these scholarships are for high school seniors. Some of these scholarships are for women. However, we feel that people will be able to apply for a majority of the following scholarships. There is NO guarantee that you will receive money from these scholarships, because the competition is fierce for financial aid. The demand for scholarships is greater than the supply of money. HOWEVER, you have as good as chance as anyone else when applying for these grants and scholarships.
List of NO ESSAY Scholarships: Episode 1. Updated February 2019. We know that many students want scholarships with NO essay requirement, so we will mention this video, here. This YouTube video will provide information on ten scholarships for college that do NOT require an essay. These scholarships have a minimum amount of requirements, so almost any U.S. citizen may apply for these scholarships. Some of these scholarships ask you to fill out an online application while others request that you answer a short quiz or question. However, most people would consider the application process “easy.” Definitely, NO ESSAY is required for these scholarships

Papercheck has kept the scholarship listed on their website for, at least, four or five years. The information has not changed much at all, INCLUDING the application deadline dated for 2017. We have noticed that some websites that list this scholarship have changed some of the information.

We know how difficult it is to find scholarships. For that reason, we will continue to list this scholarship. We will continue to TRY to contact Papercheck.com to try to get an answer IF they continue to fund this scholarship.

Credit Repair Companies and Scholarships
NOTE: When looking for updates to Creditrepair.com scholarship, we found more scholarships being offered by other credit repair companies. We will list those companies, but we are not as sure of the credibility of these scholarship offers as we are with many other scholarships offered by well-known companies on the lists that we have provided on our web pages. We believe that the scholarship is no longer available from Creditrepair.com. It seemed like over some years that Creditrepair.com offered a scholarship and then did not offer the scholarship, then relaunched their scholarship, and NOW the scholarship seems to be GONE.
The following scholarships look credible, BUT we have supplied the URL to allow you to see what you think. It will be interesting to see if the companies provide the scholarships annually.

YouTube Video: How to Find College Grants and Scholarships is a short six-minute video that gives you an overall look at where to find college grants and scholarships. If you have no idea on where to start to find financial aid, then this video will give you a good idea on how to go about finding free money in the form of financial aid, grants, and scholarships for college or trade schools for a variety of groups of people such as nursing students, single moms, women, and just about any U.S. Citizen seeking scholarships with the least amount of eligibility requirements.
List of NO ESSAY Scholarships: Episode 1. Updated February 2019. We know that many students want scholarships with NO essay requirement, so we will mention this video as we mentioned at the top of this web page. This YouTube video will provide information on ten scholarships for college that do NOT require an essay. These scholarships have a minimum amount of requirements, so almost any U.S. citizen may apply for these scholarships. Some of these scholarships ask you to fill out an online application while others request that you answer a short quiz or question. However, most people would consider the application process “easy.” Definitely, NO ESSAY is required for these scholarships.
I think that most people would agree that it takes a LONG time to find scholarships with almost no eligibility requirements like what are listed above. We found that there is NO one source for this type of information. There is an ASTONISHING number of grants and scholarships out there, BUT we found it so FRUSTRATING trying to find those scholarships that had almost no restrictions when it came to eligibility requirements. However, we did find a Kindle eBook that will list about 150 college grants and scholarships with the least amount of eligibility requirements so just about any United States citizen or legal resident can apply for a majority of the scholarships listed. The title of the Kindle eBook is:
College Grants and Scholarships with the Minimum Amount of Eligibility Requirements
A majority of the scholarships listed require you to write an essay, but there are some scholarships listed that require no essay. Some of the scholarships are just for high school seniors. However, there are quite a few scholarships for students who have been out of high school awhile. There are scholarships for those who are about to attend college or are already in college. A majority of people will be able to apply to a majority of the 150 scholarships on this list of scholarships.
If you do not have a Kindle, you can download the free Kindle Previewer in order to view Kindle books on your PC at http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000765261 OR https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help?topicId=A3IWA2TQYMZ5J6 . We know how difficult it is to format documents for the Kindle so the formatting might be kind of strange for some of the text. However, we find the text tolerable and the links work.
Normally, we advise you to see if a local library has this eBook. However, we know that eBooks are not a big part of many library’s budget so it is questionable if many libraries purchased this Kindle eBook. We know how frustrating that it is trying to find scholarships with almost no eligibility requirements and that are "portable", so it is up to you if you want to purchase the eBook. Only you can decide if the low price is worth it.
