It’s been awhile since I’ve made any posts on the easiest scholarships to get for college and high school students out there, so I thought I would do another one of those. There is virtually no point in spending tons of time applying for a scholarship if it is competitive enough to where your chances of winning the scholarship are small. You should instead focus on winning scholarship awards that you have a fair chance of winning, or that are at least less competitive. That is one of the things I want you to learn in the Money for College Students guide.
Some of the easiest scholarships to get don’t even require that you have a 4.0 GPA, or are the top student at your high school. Surprisingly, there are a lot of these types of scholarships available out there! As I said, the easiest scholarships to win are the one’s that not many apply for, and hence are less competitive.
Some of these types of scholarships include local scholarships, as those are always less competitive. Plus, if you are a “brilliant” student, your chances of winning a local scholarship are extremely high. There is one book out there called “Scholarships for B Students” (or something along those lines) that you’d definitely want to consider reading if you are more of the average student.
