Applying to college is a complicated process, but the College Board has created programs to guide you through it. The Opportunity Scholarship Program is open to all students and doesn’t require an essay, application, or minimum GPA. Instead, it rewards your effort and initiative.

Right now, students can enter to win a $1,000 scholarship just for filling out the FAFSA. The College Board is awarding 200 Complete the FAFSA Scholarships every month from October to December, and 100 scholarships in January and February 2021. All you need to do is join the program and confirm that you have completed the FAFSA. Here is the link to join the program: Complete the FAFSA Scholarship.
