Niche $40,000 No Essay Scholarship
Offered by Niche
About this scholarship
The Niche $40,000 No Essay Scholarship is a one-winner scholarship sweepstakes for students and prospective students. The $40,000 prize may help cover tuition, housing, books, and other college expenses. Current high school, college, and graduate students may enter, as may people planning to attend college or graduate school within the next year. Niche limits its sponsored scholarships and sweepstakes to people who have U.S. citizenship or a valid U.S. visa or passport; applicants should review the linked official rules for complete legal restrictions. No essay, GPA, recommendation, transcript, or field of study is required. The application appears directly on the official scholarship page and requires a Niche account with the entrant’s name, birthdate, email address, and current education status. Only one entry is allowed per person. This is a random drawing rather than a merit- or need-scored scholarship, so the odds depend on the number of eligible entries received. Niche’s fulfillment partner, Votigo, conducts the drawing and contacts the potential winner by email. The selected entrant is expected to be notified by November 15 and must respond promptly to complete verification and claim requirements. Entries must be completed by October 15, 2026.
