CollegeXpress is thrilled to kick off another exciting year of scholarship contests for students in 2025! Once again, we’re making it super easy for you to win free money for school—no essays required. All you have to do is sign up for a free CollegeXpress account (or log back in if you’re already a member) and answer our featured question of the month in just a few words.
These are fun, low-pressure questions like “What’s your favorite food?” or “Who's the best college mascot?”—there’s no right or wrong answer! Plus, your responses might even inspire blogs, infographics, and other cool content we create on CollegeXpress.
At the end of each month, one lucky winner will be randomly chosen from all the entries. And here’s the best part: Any US student age 13 and up can win, whether you’re a high school freshman or already in college. If you’re selected, we’ll notify you by email and celebrate your win by featuring your name on this blog.
Keep track of all our 2025 giveaways by checking back here each month. Don’t forget to bookmark this page and keep an eye out for a new chance to win—good luck!
