Top 5 Best No-Essay STEM Scholarships for High School Students (2024):

1. Coca-Cola Scholarship In short, this scholarship assesses the commitments of high school students to leadership, giving back to the community, and scale of their impacts on the world around them.

United States Citizens with an overall high school GPA of

3. 00 or above and who are in their senior year of high school at the time of applying are eligible for the award, and the top 50 winners are awarded $50,000 in cash while the next 200 are awarded $10,000 for the cash, all towards the university of their choice.

Also, let it be known that although this is an essay-free scholarship in the first round, that changes if you are selected to move on past the preliminary stage.

2. National Merit Scholarship Another one of the awards outlined in Rishab Jain's FREE Scholarship Guide, the National Merit Scholarship is an award that students earn in their junior year of high school if they score within the top 1% of test-takers on the PSAT.

Although the exact score mandatory for qualification varies by state by year, a score in the high 1400s (out of 1520) is typically sufficient in order to qualify for the Semi-Finalist status.

Then, if you qualify as a National Merit Semi-Finalist, you may consequently apply for the position of Finalist in order to have a chance at gaining the actual scholarship funding.

In order to do so, you have to complete a National Merit Scholarship Application, including writing a personal essay, and show proof of a high GPA and a promising academic background.

Then, your high school principal needs to recommend you for the Finalist status, and you must ensure that you have taken the SAT or ACT and scored well on the exam by that point in your application.

Finally, your Selection Index Score is calculated, and about 7,500 students are chosen from the 16,000 initial semi-finalists to receive the scholarship.

The scholarship consists of $2500 presented to each winner, and goes towards the college of their choice.

3. Regeneron Young Scientist Award If you are interested in biology, and more specifically in curing once incurable diseases in a medicinal manner, then the Regeneron Young Scientist Award is a phenomenal way to win some recognition and funding for your ideas.

An extremely competitive award, Regeneron in partnership with the Society for Science distributes $50,000 in prize money to the top 2 first place projects each, and the process for applying and constructing your project is streamlined through the local science fair system up to the Regeneron ISEF.

Do note that the project is international, so the competition is higher than ever.

Additionally, you ARE allowed to work in teams.

4. Women at Microsoft Scholarship Oftentimes, being a woman trying to enter the world of STEM is difficult, and funding for post-secondary technological endeavors for this group of people is far more slender than it is for men.

That is why Microsoft created a scholarship in which they grant seven one-time awards of $5,000 to graduating high school seniors who self-identify as a woman or non-binary individual.

Some eligibility requirements for this scholarship include having at least a

3. 0 GPA and planning on enrolling in a STEM related field at an accredited university or college.

It should also be noted that if you are directly related to a Microsoft employee, you will be prohibited from applying for this scholarship due to conflict of interest.

5. Great Mind in Stem Scholarship Although not as prestigious as the others, this application is also far less competitive, with the $500-$1000 scholarship having another caveat besides the lower price range

- similar to the last award, this one specifically targets those who are of an underrepresented community (Hispanic descent) or have provided significant leadership and service to an underrepresented community.

Some other requirements include: Actively being in pursuit of a STEM degree after high school Having a GPA of

3. 0 or higher overall Being enrolled in a STEM program for the upcoming semester at an accredited university (Possibly) already being in college So if you're having trouble with many of the other STEM scholarships, then test your luck with this one!

You may just win, and it would be a great starting point for you to build off of.

Conclusion In this world of rising inflation where college and university costs are ever so high, scholarships are a wonderful way to raise some money for paying off those educational expenses early on.

This is especially true and fruitful for merit-based scholarships in the grueling world of STEM where such financial conquests can be difficult to summit.

We hope that this list can serve you well in your own education journey, without writing an essay, and wish you the best of luck in your applications!
