Every year, there are tons of posts about weird scholarships. There’s the Stuck at Prom Scholarship where students make their outfits from Duck Tape®, and let’s not forget the duck calling scholarship, which has been mentioned so many times it’s just not weird anymore. Of course, no list is ever complete without adding the Kor Memorial Scholarship, simply because those who speak Klingon can use their talent to win it, although it’s not the only language eligible for the award. Last year, ScholarshipExperts.com jumped into the fray with the Zombie Apocalypse and Flavor of the Month scholarships. If you’re a fan of The Walking Dead, the zombie scholarship was made for you. Of course, I personally love the Flavor of Month because I have an excuse to sample ice cream. I haven’t found anything called ‘A Hot Mess’ yet, so my search continues. Now, ScholarshipExperts.com has done it again and launched a totally new scholarship that may just be the weirdest award I have ever seen. Read the rest of this entry »
Every year, someone publishes a list of weird or wacky scholarships, but it always seems like the same scholarships are listed year after year. The list is bound to include the Kor Memorial Scholarship (popular with those who speak Klingon), the Stuck at Prom Scholarship (Duck Tape) and, of course, the infamous duck calling scholarship (otherwise known as the Chick and Sophie Major Memorial Duck Calling Contest). In fact, these so-called wacky scholarships have become so well-known that they no longer qualify as ‘weird’ in my book. So, we scoured the Web looking for something truly new and unique; we wanted to find programs that require an unusual hobby, career or characteristic to add to our annual list. Here are the programs made our Truly Weird Scholarships List.
1. Zombie Apocalypse Scholarship
There’s been so much media attention surrounding Zombies that not even a statement from the CDC has been able to assuage the masses. Read the rest of this entry »
Ever heard of this old adage?: Don’t judge a book by its cover. This quote holds true in the world of scholarships. Not all scholarships require you to have an astronomical GPA or numerous hours of community service. Sometimes, all it takes to win free money for college is creativity to make a prom dress out of duct tape or a skill for playing marbles. So, don’t give up on your search for funding your educational goals. Explore these wacky scholarships below. You could be the next winner!
1. Tall Clubs International Scholarship – Too tall? I doubt it. To qualify for this scholarship, you must be a male 6’ 2” or taller or a female 5’ 10” or taller. Who said growing up was a bad thing?
2. Potato Industry Scholarship – The National Potato Council gives one deserving graduate student a $5,000 scholarship. You must be pursuing advanced studies in Agribusiness to enhance the potato industry. Read the rest of this entry »
