Yeah, Niche.com is definitely a legit spot to hunt for scholarships.
Although, I gotta say, some of their scholarships, especially the “no essay” ones, feel more like lucky draws than genuine scholarship opportunities in my book.

So Flippa, can you explain why they aren’t legitimate if they are random drawings?

It basically comes down to how you define a scholarship. Normally, scholarships are given based on achievements or experiences. But with these random drawings, anyone can enter and potentially win, regardless of their qualifications or accomplishments. It’s kind of like those contests you see on cereal boxes.
Plus, a lot of companies do these types of scholarships to gather data. They’re not really concerned about who wins the small $1,000 prize; they’re more interested in collecting information from thousands of people in a specific demographic, which is worth a lot more to them.
