Thousands Of Dollars Are Wasted Each Year In Scholarships – How To Apply
 |
The constantly rising cost of college is something which isn’t news to anyone, but it is something which can cause a lot of trouble for those looking to further their education. There are scholarships available for students, though almost all have specific criteria which students must meet in order to qualify.
Not many students are aware of wacky scholarships. So thousands of $ are wasted each year in this scholarships simply because no one has applied for it. They are scholarships given to students who have odd or unique personalities or hobbies. They may sound strange to others and hence they are wacky scholarships.
Quite a few of these less well known scholarships end up going unclaimed every year since very few people are even aware of their existence. While these scholarships may be somewhat strange, even downright bizarre, they’re something which any student would do well to have a look at.
Depending on your height, you may be eligible for scholarships, such as the $1,000 scholarship for students who meet their requirements (6′ 2″ for men, 5′ 8″ for women). If you’re under five feet (actually 4′ 10″), there are the scholarships awarded annually by the Billy Barty Foundation and the Little People of America.
If these wacky scholarships are a source of amazement (or perhaps amusement) to you, there’s others you may want to learn about. For example, if you’re a Star Trek fan this one in particular may interest you.
There are many other wacky scholarships out there which may fit with your educational goals, even if you may find them to be eccentric, even amusing. One very unusual scholarship is the $500 Kor Memorial Scholarship – if you’re a dedicated Star Trek fan, you may be especially interested in this particular scholarship program. It’s awarded by the Klingon Language Institute, an organization dedicated to promoting the Klingon language. Whether you’re a fan or not, you may want to look into this one: no Klingon language proficiency is required.
These wacky scholarships are only a small sampling of the many unconventional sources of funding for college which are available to students who are willing to seek them out. There are also scholarships awarded to caddies, vegans, artists and really any social or occupational group you can think of!
