Grants and Scholarships with the LEAST Amount of Eligibility Requirements so just about ANYONE can Apply

This web page was updated in January 2023.

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.

 


PLEASE NOTE: BE CAREFUL:

We decided to write the following statement about being careful on applying for scholarships that MAY no longer be available. From our experience of trying to list scholarships that are currently available, we have found that many scholarships stay on the World Wide Web, although the organizations that at one time funded the scholarships, NO LONGER fund the scholarship. We have found that all the information is on the organization's web page, BUT, the date for applying for that scholarship may be a couple years old. Our best advice is that IF a scholarship is listed on a web page AND the date of application is more than a year old, then it is VERY PROBABLE that the scholarship is NOT AVAILABLE. Our best advice is that if you are interested in a scholarship that has older information, then PLEASE TRY TO CONTACT them to see IF the scholarship is currently being offered. Definitely, a number of organizations may delay funding a scholarship for a year or two. However, there are many scholarships that are found on web pages that have been there for years that have NOT been funded for years.

We have modified this listing a number of times because Sallie Mae has made a number of changes to their website and information over the years.


Over the years, scholarships provided by Sallie Mae seem to come and go.

Our advice to you is to look at different web pages at the Saliie Mae website.

Credit Repair Companies that Offer Scholarships

All too often, I find myself checking the URLs to a variety of credit repair companies that offer scholarships. Like many scholarships that we have listed on this website over many years, a number of scholarships provided by different credit repair companies have come and gone. Here are some updates to some scholarships listed by some credit repair companies.

 

I think that I have presented this company's scholarship on our website longer than we have listed other credit repair companies. However, I am no longer confident that this specific scholarship is active, at this time. It may come and go, and that is why I will keep it on this list, for now. I have seen some other scholarship websites list this scholarship, BUT I have to question if this scholarship is active, still.

Creditrepair.com Scholarship

Scholarships Listed on the Web with OLDER Dates.

Maybe we list too many scholarships with older applications on this website, BUT the information for many older scholarships continue to remain on the WEB. It is as if the organizations that funded the scholarships, at one time, are continuing to fund the scholarships OR want to fund the scholarship, later.

We will continue to list SOME of these type of scholarships. Maybe some of the following scholarships will be funded again, sometime in the future.

We have taken a number of scholarships off our website and listed them in our nonactive scholarships web page. We suspect that MOST of the scholarships listed on our nonactive scholarship web page are LONG GONE.

College Grants and Scholarships with the Minimum Amount of Eligibility Requirements

This ebook needs to be updated, BUT, many of the scholarships listed continue to be active.

A majority of the scholarships 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.
