Paul McCartney wrote it to comfort his bandmate John Lennon\u2019s young son during a stressful time. So if you\u2019re feeling the pressures of applying to financial aid, remember the golden line: \u201cDon\u2019t carry the world upon your shoulders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If \u201cHey Jude\u201d was a scholarship, I\u2019d probably classify it as need-based.

There are so many pop icons to choose from, but of course, our queen Bey is proficient across every genre (which is why she shows up on this list so often). If she was a type of scholarship, she\u2019d be a \u201cNo Essay\u201d scholarship &#8211; one that\u2019s open to everyone!<\/p>\n<p>(P.S. &#8211; with <strong>Red Kite Premium<\/strong>, you now have access to <a href=\"https:\/\/myredkite.com\/\">a curated list of active \u201cNo Essay\u201d scholarships!)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And if, like me, you were also raised on Miley Cyrus and Rihanna, you know that pop music gets you <em>grooving<\/em>. Let\u2019s not forget the greats: Madonna, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, Billie Eilish, Ed Sheeran, and Michael Jackson, to name a few. But if I had to pick just one song for your scholarship search, you can\u2019t go wrong with music royalty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBREAK MY SOUL\u201d has that classic beat that just makes me want to jump out of my cubicle and dance. I\u2019ll be applying to graduate school soon, and this song has been getting me through the brainstorming process.
