Every college-bound student understands the importance of scholarships along with the stress of applying. But not all scholarships are for the intellectual. Face it. There’s a scholarship out for a wide variety of talents and interests.
1. Scholar Athlete Milk Mustache of the Year (SAMMY) Award – This $7,500 scholarship, free trip to Disney World and spot in a Milk Mustache ad are available to 25 student-athlete high school seniors with 3.20 GPAs who participate in school or club sports.
2. Duck Brand Duct Tape Stuck on Prom Contest – Who would ever think that creating prom outfits out of duct tape could win a lucky couple $3,000 in scholarship money?
3. Sophie Major Memorial Duck Calling Contest – Hunters may be eligible for $2,000 in scholarships. So practice that favorite duck call and get prepared to win some money!
4. The Billy Barty Foundation – This scholarship is awarded to students who are short in stature – under 4’ 10” – and have proof of dwarfism.
5. KLI Academic Award: The Kor Memorial Scholarship – If you’re a “Trekky” then you’ll love this $500 scholarship from the Kligon Language Institute for students in the field of language study, Luckily, you don’t need to know Kligon to qualify!
6. School Bank and Orchestra Magazine Scholarship – By writing a simple essay about the topic, you could qualify for $1,000 in scholarship money.
7. American Society for Enology and Viticulture Scholarship – Being a grape lover defentiely has its benefits, especially when it comes to this scholarship that awards undergrad and grad full-time students majoring in viticulture and enology.
8. Evans Scholars Foundation Scholarship – Golf lovers could benefit from this WGA-sponsored scholarship that gives young caddies with financial need (and a great caddie record) the opportunity to pay for college.
9. American Nudist Research Library Scholarship – If modesty isn’t an issue – and you don’t mind living in a nudist colony – then you could benefit from $1,000 for college.
10. American Fire Sprinkler Association Scholarship – High School students who don’t mind reading an essay about fire sprinklers then taking a 10-question test could qualify for a $2,000 scholarship.
