What are writing scholarships?

Writing scholarships are financial awards given to students based primarily on written work, though other factors are usually taken into consideration as well. Most writing scholarships involve a prompt or series of prompts to which applicants must respond. Some writing scholarships — especially those that award large amounts of money — require applicants to submit past writing samples, or even a full portfolio.

The good news is that, with so many writing scholarships to choose from, you don’t have to apply for any that are “out of your league.” Indeed, though most students have heard of writing scholarships, you may not realize just how many different varieties there are! Here are five of the most common types of writing scholarships, all of which you can find in this directory.

1. Personal essay scholarships

Personal essay scholarships involve writing on a topic related to your own experience. You’ll often see personal essay prompts like, “How have your experiences influenced your choice of major?” and “What are your career aspirations and how do you plan to achieve them?” Other prompts may ask you to write about a role model, a life-changing event, an aspect of your identity, etc. Suggested length is usually about 500-1,000 words, but varies depending on the level of detail requested and how many essay questions are provided.

Just about every scholarship these days has a personal essay component of some kind. This is because personal essay responses both demonstrate writing skills and give the judges a clear sense of each applicant’s goals. No one wants to throw away money on an aimless student — so if you’re applying for a personal essay scholarship, make sure to convey both your writing abilities and your ambitions in your work!

2. Critical essay scholarships

Critical essay scholarships are more in line with what students might consider  “academic” essays. The prompts typically ask applicants to analyze works of literature. However, unlike open-ended English class essays, most critical essay scholarships provide a very specific prompt (e.g. “Examine The Great Gatsby in the context of its World War II-era revival”).

Critical essay scholarships can also involve non-literary subject matter. Some may ask applicants to evaluate a historical event or figure; others may ask them to defend their stance on a political or legal issue. Though the line between critical and personal essays can sometimes blur, for the purposes of this directory, we define critical essays as those that use evidence from an external source to prove a point.

3. Short fiction scholarships

Short fiction scholarships include scholarships for short stories, one-act plays, poetry, and any other form of fiction that isn’t a novel or full-length script. Short fiction scholarships tend to be easier to find than long-form fiction scholarships, since most judging panels don’t have time to read more than a few thousand words per entry. Therefore, if you write fiction and you’re hoping to nab yourself a scholarship, this category is the way to go! (That said, if you’re a hardline novelist, some places will accept a sample chapter or two as short fiction entries.)

4. Journalism scholarships

Journalism scholarships are for students interested in pursuing a career in news, magazine, and/or online journalism. These scholarship applications almost always ask for writing samples to show the candidate’s interest. Depending on the organization, they may prefer topical news reports, informative articles, thinkpieces, or a mix. Some journalism scholarships provide a prompt and ask applicants to write a new article, but the focus is usually on samples. Speaking of which…

5. Portfolio scholarships 

Portfolio scholarships are the most rigorous kind of writing scholarship, requiring a substantial body of work from each applicant — usually 5-10 pieces of writing, if not more. The upside is that awards for portfolio scholarships tend to be pretty sizable, and may even cover your entire tuition!

If you decide to apply to a portfolio scholarship, make sure you have several strong pieces of work in your oeuvre, and consider writing a few new pieces as well. What you shouldn’t do is rush through a dozen new pieces to throw together as a portfolio. If you don’t have samples at the ready from previous assignments or projects, you’ll be better off applying to a less intensive writing scholarship.

Why apply to writing scholarships?

Applying to writing scholarships is a huge undertaking, especially if you’re pursuing multiple scholarships at once. It can sometimes feel like the effort isn’t worth it, or that you have little chance of actually winning any awards. But in truth, submitting to writing scholarships is one of the best investments you can make in your education, your creative writing skills, and your professional life.

Scholarships for larger amounts do attract more applicants, but that doesn’t mean they’re impossible to land — only that you have to work a little harder to stand out. And you can definitely sway the odds in your favor by applying to lots of small scholarships ($500 or less) for which you’ll have fewer competitors. Remember that every little bit helps! For example, if you plan on taking out student loans, even a $500 scholarship could save you much more in interest down the line.

Another compelling reason to apply to writing scholarships is that oftentimes, you’ve already done the work, or the work required is minimal. For scholarships that require writing samples, you’ll simply submit what you’ve already written in the past — and even for scholarships with specific prompts, you rarely have to write more than a couple of pages. If you were seriously committed, you could apply to a scholarship every day, spending a single concentrated evening on each application.

Jumping off that thought, as English majors love to say: the more writing scholarships you apply for, the better a writer you’ll become. Writing tons of scholarship essays will make you a much more creative and efficient writer. Not only will this help with your personal writing projects, but it will also be invaluable to your education and even your career! Writing is a crucial skill for every major — you’ll always have to write papers and emails to professors, after all — and even if you don’t plan to pursue a writing-based job, you'll still need writing skills to polish your résumé.

Finally, remember that there’s a writing scholarship out there for everyone, no matter what your interests or intended field. This directory includes plenty of creative writing scholarships, yes; but there are also personal essay scholarships for future doctors, lawyers, salespeople, and so much more. You have nothing to lose by giving it a shot, so why not start searching for your dream writing scholarship today? (And if you’re unsure about your writing skills, you might benefit from some of the resources below.)

The 10 Easiest Scholarships to Apply For

Financial Aid

Scholarships are awesome resources if you're checking out different ways to pay for college. It's free money after all—what's not to love?

As it turns out, most scholarship programs have application processes that aren't exactly lovable. Students generally have to submit a lot of information about themselves: transcripts, GPAs, test scores, resumes, community service activities, and so on. There might even be a few essays and grade requirements thrown in as well. You don't want to complain—because, again, free money—but these applications sure are tedious when you're working on college apps, high school courses, and financial aid applications all at the same time.

The following easy scholarships have application processes that are a bit more manageable. Some ask you to write short essays, while others don't require any essays at all! The awards might not be as large as some other scholarships out there, but when the application process is so easy, you really don't have much to lose. I'll start off with some words of warning before getting into the good stuff: essay and no-essay scholarships that are so easy to apply for, you might end up applying to all of them!

Caveat: If a Scholarship Seems Too Good to Be True ...

Unfortunately, there aren't too many legitimate "easy" scholarships out there. If a scholarship application sounds too good to be true, be cautious—you don't want to fall victim to a scholarship scam!

Here are some things to look out for:

• A scholarship application that asks for personal information that isn't relevant to the award: Many top scholarship programs ask for personal information (transcripts, SAT/ACT scores, and even financial information for need-based scholarships); however, this info is all relevant to candidate evaluation. If you're ever uncomfortable providing personal info for a scholarship program, dig deeper. Can you verify that the program is legitimate? Does it have its own website, or can you only find info about it through a third party? Try Googling "[award name] scam" to see whether anything suspicious pops up.
• A scholarship that asks you to make payments to enter or win: Scholarship programs are in the business of giving money to students, not taking it. A scholarship program is likely just a scam if the application asks you to make a payment—especially if it asks you to enter credit card information.

Now that we've got that out of the way, it's time to get to the good stuff: all the best easy essay and non-essay scholarships and how to win them!

Essay Scholarships

The scholarships in this section ask students to submit short essays with their applications. Even though you'll have to write an essay, the rest of the application (and the essay itself) should be easy and manageable for all these awards. In fact, most of these applications shouldn't take more than one to two hours to complete.

Bachus & Schanker, LLC Scholarship

This scholarship program is a bit different from most of the other awards included in this post—it's funded by a private law firm in Colorado. Students compete for a $2,000 award by writing an essay (at least 800 words) about the 7th Amendment and how it affects their lives. Scholarships are awarded twice a year, to be paid toward tuition for the upcoming semester.

• Eligibility: High school seniors who have been accepted to a four-year university and university students with a minimum 3.0 GPA
• Deadline:  July 30 (to win a scholarship for the fall semester) and November 30 (to win a scholarship for the spring semester)

Courage to Grow Scholarship

This $500 award is given out to one lucky student every month. To compete for the award, applicants must explain in 250 words why they think they deserve the scholarship, intended to support students who found “courage to forge ahead when sometimes it would be easier to give up.” Past recipients’ essays have discussed overcoming obstacles from bullying to breast cancer.

• Eligibility: US high school juniors and seniors and college students with a minimum 2.5 GPA
• Deadline: Last day of every month 

Odenza Marketing Group Scholarship

Odenza Marketing Group gives away two $500 scholarships each year, once in the spring and again in the fall. To compete for this award, applicants must like the Odenza Facebook page and write two short essays of about 500 words each. Each scholarship must have a clear thesis statement, offer supporting evidence in paragraph format, and be grammatically correct. In other words, these essays should follow the argumentative essay format you've learned in English class.

• Eligibility: Current high school students (US or Canadian citizens) aged 16-25 or students who have at least one year of college remaining. Applicants must also have a minimum 2.5 GPA.
• Deadline March 30 for spring, November 15 for fall

Some of these applications won't take you longer than a few minutes.

No-Essay Scholarships

When it comes to easy applications, you can't get much easier than the following scholarship programs. You'll still have to submit some information about yourself (and, in some instances, complete some brief activities or tasks), but you won't have to write any essays to qualify.

AFSA High School Scholarship

For this scholarship, all you need to do is complete an entry form and answer an eight-question quiz. Five $1 ,000 awards are given out each year. Winners are randomly selected by a computer-generated drawing. Your odds of winning are based on the total number of entries received. Essentially, it’s a scholarship raffle, and you get one ticket per “draw.”

• Eligibility: Current high school seniors (US citizens or legal residents)
• Deadline: June 30, 2023

Too Cool to Pay for School Scholarship

This scholarship has one of the easiest applications out there: just fill out a few questions, and you're done! A $1,000 scholarship is awarded every three months. Winners are selected randomly.

• Eligibility: Current high school, college, and graduate students studying in the US
• Deadline: The last day of every March, June, September, and December

The Annual Haiku Society of America Haiku Award in honor of Harold G. Henderson

This scholarship program gives out three prizes of $200, $150, and $100 , but the application process is fun and easy. Students qualify by simply writing and submitting up to five original haikus. If you win, your haiku also gets published in an anthology and on the HSA website! Note: There is a small fee to apply, but the site is indeed reputable.

• Eligibility: All students in grades 7-12
• Deadline: Open June 1 - July 31

"No Essay" College Scholarship

This $2,000 award is given out monthly. To apply for this scholarship, submit an application that includes basic identifying information, your GPA, and your SAT/ACT scores. Winners are randomly selected, and you can submit a new application every month.

• Eligibility: High school students, adults heading back to school, current college students, and anyone else looking to attend college or graduate school within the next year

Stuck at Prom Scholarship Contest

Do you have a creative side and an eye for fashion? Students can compete for the grand prize of $10,000 (one each for the dress and tux categories) by designing and wearing prom outfits made out of duct tape. Check out the website for fun pictures of past winners!

Eight $500 prizes are given to runners-up (four for dresses and four for tuxes).  Applicants can enter as individuals or as part of a couple. Submissions that get the most votes win prizes, so be sure to recruit your friends to vote for you!

• Eligibility: High school students in the US and Canada (excluding certain states and territories—refer to the official rules for details)
• Deadline: The submission window is generally open from March through June, and winners are announced in July. Check the website for exact dates. 

U.S. Bank Student Union Scholarship

Multiple awards are available through this scholarship. To qualify, you'll need to create an account and complete learning modules about financial education. The more modules you complete, the more money you're eligible to earn. 

One first prize winner and one second prize winner are randomly selected during each of two entry periods. Winners can receive up to $20,000 , depending on how many learning modules they complete 

• Eligibility: Current US undergraduate students
• Deadline: Spring and fall of each year. Check website for more details.

Because College is Expensive Scholarship

This $500 scholarship is awarded to one student four times a year (March, June, September, and December) .If you want to enter, all you have to do is fill out the form on the Cedar Lending website.

• Eligibility : High school sophomores, juniors, and seniors; current college students; anyone else looking to attend college or grad school
• Deadline : March 31st, June 30th, September 30th, and December 31st. One winner is selected by the 15th of each month. 

3 Tips for Winning Easy Scholarships

Just because a scholarship is easy to apply for, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s easy to win. Since these scholarship applications are so simple to complete, you'll probably have a lot of competition. Here are some strategies to help you submit your best applications possible:

#1: If you have to write an essay, you'll have a better shot at success if your views align with those of the organization awarding the scholarship. To prepare, do some research about the company or charity's mission statement. For instance, don't write an essay about how much you love fossil fuels if the scholarship is offered by an environmental organization! 

#2: Make sure your application is polished. You won't have the opportunity to make more than a first impression (remember, these apps are short and sweet!), so double-check for any grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors.

#3: Last but not least, be sure that your application is complete and on time!

What's Next?

These scholarships are excellent options if you want to churn out as many applications as possible. As you might've noticed, though, the award amounts are a bit underwhelming (though keep in mind that several smaller awards can be just as helpful as one big award!). Larger scholarships and grants are often available through colleges directly and applying for financial aid using the FAFSA .

You'll have to spend more time on your applications if you're gunning for a top scholarship, but the payoff can be more than worth it. To learn more about some of the best scholarships out there, check out our guides to the top scholarships for high school juniors and seniors .

In your scholarship search, you may feel inclined to only select those that are worth thousands and thousands of dollars. While these scholarships have a higher financial reward, they are also more likely to be competitive and to have many applicants. Consequently, the odds of becoming one of the few scholarship winners to receive an expensive scholarship are much lower.

If you are one of the many high school students, college students, or graduate students hoping to pursue higher education with the help of a scholarship award, it can be beneficial to apply for scholarships that are $500 . Oftentimes, smaller scholarships are less competitive, but they can still be of major help to students dealing with the financial burden of college tuition.

There are just as many scholarships worth $500 as there are others. For instance, if you simply complete the process of creating a Bold.org profile , a completely free account, you can gain access to many $500 scholarships in addition to larger awards.

Furthermore, these scholarship opportunities are available to students of all different demographics, so you may even find a $500 scholarship with an even smaller applicant pool. Ultimately, whether it is an expensive scholarship or a less expensive one, there is a scholarship out there for every student who wants to go to college.

How to Get $500 Scholarships

The application process varies between scholarships, so be sure to read the description thoroughly before beginning to apply. A scholarship will oftentimes have specific eligibility requirements that all those who apply must meet. For instance, a scholarship may have citizenship requirements or it may require applicants to attend a specific college.

Once you have confirmed that you are eligible to apply, you must complete the application process. The process varies between scholarships but instructions will always be in the description.

Since $500 scholarships are worth a smaller amount of money, they may have an easier application process than larger scholarships. Some scholarships may even choose a winner based on a random drawing or lottery process. If you are selected as the winner, you will be contacted directly about your scholarship money.

Bold.org has many $500 scholarships for high school students, college undergraduates, graduates, and more.

The scholarship application process will vary between scholarships. In order to know what steps you have to take to apply, carefully read the scholarship description. Often, you'll have to write a short essay or attach another submission, such as a video or art file, to apply.

In general, scholarships are not counted as income. However, there are some specific requirements that a scholarship must meet for this to be the case. Check out additional resources like the IRS page on scholarships to check on the status of your scholarship.

Guide To Endowed Scholarships

Updated: Jan 3, 2024, 1:48pm

Scholarships are one of the most common sources of financial aid. A 2023 report from Sallie Mae revealed that 61% of families use scholarships to pay for a portion of college expenses. On average, they received $7,822 per student in scholarships in 2023.

Although scholarships are common, people are less knowledgeable about endowed scholarships. Understanding how endowed scholarships work—and how to apply for them—will allow you to maximize your financial aid options.

What Is an Endowed Scholarship?

An endowed scholarship is administered by a college or university, so it’s considered a form of institutional aid. Endowments are funded by a donor specifically for creating and maintaining scholarships, and the donated funds are held in an endowment account and invested. The interest earned on the account is then used to provide scholarships year after year.

What does that mean for students? Major universities have billions in endowments, allowing them to provide significant financial assistance to their students.

For example, Harvard University’s price tag for tuition, housing and other expenses is $79,450 for the 2023-2024 academic year. However, Harvard’s endowment is the largest in the country at $53 billion, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. With an endowment of that size, it can cover more of students’ expenses than some other schools.

As a result, 24% of Harvard students pay nothing; their costs are covered by need-based financial aid. And Harvard meets 100% of students’ financial needs. With its substantial financial aid packages, attending Harvard can end up being cheaper than attending a public university.

Differences Between Scholarships and Endowments

Scholarships are awarded usually based on merit, but some scholarships are awarded based on financial needs, too. These awards can be issued by states, nonprofit organizations or private companies to students that meet their criteria.

With most scholarships, you can attend any accredited college or university and use the award to cover some of your expenses. However, endowed scholarships are more limited.

Endowed scholarships are issued by a particular school, and alumni or families of students typically fund them. You can’t use an endowed scholarship to pay for your education at another institution; the scholarship can only be used to attend the college awarding it.

The value of endowed scholarships varies by the award and the donor funding. For example, some endowed scholarships provide awards of $500, while others will cover the total cost of attendance .

Who Qualifies for an Endowed Scholarship?

When a donor sets up a scholarship endowment, they can choose the scholarship’s name and set the award’s eligibility requirements. Endowed scholarship criteria can be very specific. For example:

• Claude & Lydia Melli Endowed Scholarship in Education. This award is for students attending the University of South Florida who are enrolled in the university’s College of Education and majoring in science or mathematics. The scholarship is awarded based on merit and financial need, with a preference given to single mothers and female heads of households.
• Fannie B. Pardee Prize. The Fannie B. Pardee Prize is a scholarship for students enrolled at Yale University who have demonstrated exceptional achievement in sculpture.
• Glenna R. Joyce Scholarship. Students attending the University of Notre Dame who are residents of specific counties in Ohio—Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Licking, Madison, Pickaway or Union—and have strong academics can qualify for this scholarship.

How To Get an Endowed Scholarship

Endowed scholarships can be an excellent way to pay for college. And because they tend to have narrower eligibility requirements, you may be more likely to qualify than other scholarships or grants.

The application requirements vary by college and scholarship, but you generally need to complete the following steps to get an endowed scholarship:

• Contact your financial aid office. Most schools provide a list of their endowed scholarships on their websites. But if you can’t find that information, contact your college’s financial aid office and request a list of available awards.
• Review award requirements. Find out whether you match any of the requirements for one of the awards. Once you find a match, review the scholarship’s application instructions. Some have a simple form you need to complete, while others may require you to submit additional materials, such as a resume, letters of recommendation or an essay.
• Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Many endowed scholarships require you to complete the FAFSA or the state equivalent to qualify for the award.
• Fill out the scholarship application. Although some schools will automatically consider you for available scholarships, most require you to complete a separate application for each endowed scholarship. Complete the application and submit it by the scholarship’s deadline.

Other Ways to Pay for College

Not everyone will qualify for an endowed scholarship, meaning you may need to explore other financing options. If you need help covering the cost of your education, consider these other forms of financial aid:

• Outside scholarships and grants. As mentioned above, scholarships and need-based grants can come from various sources, such as the federal government, states and nonprofit organizations. You can use scholarship search tools like FastWeb or Scholarships.com to find potential awards.
• Grants. Another valuable form of aid, grants are usually awarded based on financial need. They’re issued by the federal government, states and nonprofit organizations.
• Work-study programs. If you qualify for a work-study program , you work part-time—usually in a job related to your major—and use the income to pay for some of your education expenses.
• Federal student loans. After using up other forms of aid, federal student loans can be a good starting point if you need to borrow money to cover your remaining expenses. These loans generally have lower interest rates and more benefits and protections for borrowers than other loans.
• Private student loans. If you aren’t eligible for federal loans or reached the annual or aggregate borrowing limit for federal loans, you can apply for a private student loan to pay for your remaining balance.

Between gift aid like scholarships, grants and student loans, there are many ways to pay for college and make costs more manageable.

Cassidy Glapa of Brocton is pictured receiving a “988 – Be the Hero” scholarship.

There are no age restrictions for the scholarship, the only prerequisites are that the applicant is a Chautauqua County resident, and that they have been accepted or are currently enrolled in the medical or mental health field.

Every year, the board organizes a basket giveaway to raise the funds needed for the scholarships. This year, the fundraiser was held at the John W. Dill American Legion Post 434 in Brocton, in June.

Sponsors include Jamestown Plastics Inc. (Brocton), Montes Small Engine Repair (Dunkirk), Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Bandits, Seneca Tribe (Irving), Larry Romance & Sons (Sheridan), Tech Wash Randy Kane and ;Jay Groves (Fredonia), Fredonia Physical Therapy (Fredonia), Greg Frazita (Fredonia), St Stephens Café (Brocton), Heritage Winery (Northeast, Pa.), Merritt Winery (Forestville), and Noble Winery (Westfield).

“To date, over $9,000 has been awarded and next year, because of the generous donations, we will do it again,” Rollins said.

Donations are accepted throughout the year and can be made payable to “988 Scholarship Fund” . Mailing address is: 988 Scholarship Fund 110 W. Main Street, Brocton, NY 14716.
