Since a lot of the scholarships opportunities are starting to dwindle down now that we are heading into summer, it is time to try your luck in some easy scholarship contests. Of course, if you are not familiar with contests to win scholarships, you can see a few here from Scholarships4dads and Military Scholarships. Just by entering, you could win a $10,000 scholarship if your entry is chosen. But this weekend I also ran across another easy scholarship contest from Ronzoni.

Rozoni, in case you do not know, is a maker of dry pasta. As of late, they have come out with a healthier pasta called Smart Taste that is an excellent source of fiber, calcium, and vitamin D (as per their product).

So what do Ronzoni’s Smart Taste Pasta and scholarships have in common? Well, they are offering a $15,000 prize for the winning entry in this easy scholarship contest. All you have to do is submit a written review in which you describe whether or not your family could notice the calcium, vitamin D and fiber in Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta. For a written review only you will receive 1 entry, but if you submit a written review with a photo and receive 3 entries or submit a written review with a video and receive 5 entries. You can have a total of 35 entries during the scholarship promotion.

But even if you do not win the scholarship contest, you could win a HP laptop or a $100 gift card. So really, this is an easy scholarship contest to enter with some great prizes, but hurry because the deadline for entries is May 31, 2010.

Easy Scholarships to Enter

If you are searching for some easier scholarships
to enter as opposed to those requiring long essays, hours of community service, high GPA, etc, then you may want to apply for some of these easy scholarships at Zinch.

Zinch is a website that will “hook you up with colleges, scholaships, and make it fun.” If you set up an account with Zinch, you can enter to win a a variety of scholarship contests. One such scholarship contest is the “three sentence essay” scholarship. The topic will vary, but if your three sentence essay is picked as best, you will be awarded with a $1000 scholarship prize.

There are also scholarship contests based solely on the year you were born. So if you have a birth year of 1992 or 1993, then you have a shot at winning a nearly $2000 scholarship.

There are also digital profile scholarship contests and other scholarships based on GPA, community service, and the regular scholarship criteria.

So, if you still need some extra cash, check out Zinch.com

Apply for Local Scholarships

Each Oil Can Henry’s center will be awarding a $1000 scholarship to high school seniors who live in the states in which an Oil Can Henry’s station is located.

In order to qualify for one of these scholarships you must be a graduating high school senior who lives in one of the communities that the company serves. You must also plan to enroll in an accredited two or four-year high learning institution including vocational schools in the 2010/2011 school year.

Up to 84 $1000 scholarships will be awarded. But if a location does not have anyone apply for scholarships from that location, then the money will go unused.

Deadline to apply for scholarships from Oil Can Henry’s Scholarship Program is April 7th. To find out more information and get an application, go here.
