has anyone received a scholarship for the nursing program, like the thousands that are listed, that was exceptionally easy to get???

i just don't have the time with taking 2 sciences this summer to try to "weed out" all of the b.s. scholarships and write 50 essays. i am not one of those people that is good about begging for money, even if it is there for the taking...maybe begging is not the word i'm looking for, i just don't know what to say without it sounding like that i guess.

thanks!!! :typing

Most scholarships require some amount of work to apply for them (or actual proven scholarship via GPA or writing), so no, I've not come across any that are easy if you are implying you wish to put your name in a hat and simply have someone hand you free money.

I think if there is such a scholarship/grant out there, and if someone does indeed know about it, if they are smart they won't advertise it. :rolleyes:

I have been on FAST WEB and they seem to be the most organized and simplistic source of Scholarships.

I would start with the scholarships that are offered at your school. Remember while you might be extremely busy, that hour or two you spend on filling out info for the scholarship could earn you $50-$3000 (some are more some are less) dollars. That is darn good money when you think of it that way.

Your school may have a scholarship fund where you fill out one application and write one essay for all of the scholarships.

:yeahthat:

I spent four hours applying and writing an essay for a $2000 scholarship and won it.

I figure that's $500/hour. Not bad for a day's work.

If scholarships were easy to get, everyone would get them. You need to be prepared to invest your time into them if you really want them. There is no such thing as easy.

Thanks everyone!!! I was just hoping for a 'submit your transcript' sorta thing. I suppose if I can send the same essay to all, then that wouldn't be so bad.

(but if anyone else comes across any, let us ALL know) Thanks again :redpinkhe
