Weird Wacky Scholarships

The world is full of weird and wacky things. Be it any domain, you will find lots of strange stuff related to it. So what about education? Yes, you even have weird scholarships that you can apply to. Imagine anything unusualy weird and you could have a college scholarship existing for that category. Let look closer at these unusual scholarships which you should have fun applying to.

The Entomological Foundation has creepy weird scholarships for the study of entomology – or the studying of bugs. That’s right if your buggy about bugs this bug scholarship is for you. They have (4) different bug scholarship programs in which to apply to.

Are the old fashion type and like to knit, well the National Make It Yourself with Wool Contest is sponsored by the American Sheep Industry and they award an unusual scholarship in (4) categories. The objective of the ASI contest is to promote the beauty and versatility of wool fabrics and yarns. Sound like you?

DePauw University has what is called the Icy Frost Bridge Scholarship which is awarded to someone of good character and interested in constructive activities in addition to music. The main element in this weird scholarship is to be able to sing or play the National Anthem with sincerity. Just when you thought you heard it all in terms of wacky scholarships and then this one comes along. If you can sing I would apply for this strange scholarship because you may just be a natural sincere singer.

Do you have mental telepathy? Do you have psychic abilities that can be exhibited? The Parapsychology Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation which provides a worldwide forum supporting the scientific investigation of psychic phenomena. They have a odd scholarship called the Eileen J Garrett Scholarship in the amount of $3000 awarded to a person who exhibits this ability the most.

Their is a stupid or silly scholarship from the ‘Got Milk’ people which has a milk scholarship for the best milk mustaches. This funny scholarship is called the SAMMY program which stands for Scholars Athlete Milk Mustache of the Year. Twenty five $7,500 college milk scholarships will be awarded every year. Apply in November to take part of this cream of the crop milk mustache scholarship contest.

Another category of weird college scholarships for left handed people. Most things in this world are made for the right handed majority of people. Left-handed people often face difficulty while handling scissors or while writing with ink in a notebook. Well Juniata College offers a $1,000 scholarship for two left handed students each year because they just may feel being left handed is a disability. You can research about the Frederick and Mary F Beckley Scholarship to get more information on the above mentioned oddball scholarship.

Ready, aim and fire! The National Rifle Association has scholarships if you like shooting a gun and are good at it. NRA members who have attended a NRA basic firearm training course and qualified as a Pro-Marksman, Marksman, Sharpshooter, Expert or Distinguished Expert “ are eligible in qualifying for a $5,000 gun scholarship. They award three every year. You have to do one more thing to be awarded this odd scholarship – submit an essay on ‘Why you became involved in the shooting sports’. I wouldn’t write about that you always wanted to shoot someone because your chances would most likely not be very good.

The next category is perhaps the weirdest of the weird scholarships. If you have been a vegetarian all through your life and have made efforts to promote vegetarianism in your school (how many people do you know who have done that?) and community you could win the $10,000 Vegetarian Scholarship from the Vegetarian Resource Group (VRG). One great way to get back your meat eating friends is by getting a better education than them! The competition would also be less, since there aren’t that many vegetarians these days as there are people who eat meat.

So why go through all that struggle for good grades and great SAT or GPA scores when you can just have fun applying and participating in some of the above wacky scholarships possibly getting some nice money that you can use to pay for your college education. It can be an adventure and it will surely make you stand out from the crowd. Win one of the many weird and unusual scholarships available today and enjoy your college experience without the headache of paying for tuition. Weird college scholarships for all doing it the wacky way that is!

Unusual Scholarships Can Be Bizarre Fun

Bizarre Fun Unusual Scholarships

The unusual stuff has always fascinated human beings. So it is even more fascinating for people to create something unusual. Below you will find information about some unusual scholarships that exist and that you can apply for if you want to and meet the requirements. The unusual scholarships are generally based on GPA. But the unique scholarships exist for every category.

To start out with in Pennsylvania there is a college called Bucknell University which offers the Gertrude Deppen Scholarship, and you can’t be an athlete. If you are you can’t apply. It seems that they are rewarding the scholarly type because there are not enough of them in their target scholarship criteria. This unusual scholarship is reserved for needy students who do not smoke or drink and who attend Mount Carmel High School. This scholarship rules out 99.9% of students so most don’t have a chance for it but I thought it was worth mentioning for all those who despise dumb athletes who get college scholarships to play sports with very low GPA’s. Hopefully this will make you feel better about college and those who receive scholarships while you have a hard time finding one.

David Letterman the late night talk show host has his own unique fun scholarship he awards through Ball State University in Muncie, Ind. Dave states that his scholarship is for the average student who has a genius inside like him. Just make a funny video and have fun doing it and if Dave falls out of his chair in laughter then you got your scholarship. The top award is $10,000 with two smaller awards for those who made Dave almost fall off his chair.

A few colleges offer unfamiliar college scholarships for twins and/or multiples. Parents of twins got to be happy with this scholarship because they can get a two for two on this bizarre scholarship program. Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti Michigan is one such college which does offer scholarships for twins. Known as a college for teachers their twin scholarship is called The Furlotte Twins Endowed Scholarship.

Another one is the short scholarship. In order to qualify for this unfamiliar scholarship you must be shorter than 4’10″. If you are, then you can download an application online from the Little People of America Scholarship website. LPA is a non-profit organization established by Billy Barty to help out people of short stature. It goes the other way too. There are scholarships for tall people too from the Tall Clubs International which awards scholarships based on height and a few other criteria.

Another unusual scholarship for inventions is given away through the Collegiate Inventors Competition. This potentially fun and uncommon scholarship seeks to encourage graduate and undergraduate students to work on new ideas, and technological innovations. The ideas submitted together with the applications should be practical and not patented. They might not have been commercialized but should not have been submitted in the previous year. They are judged for originality, inventiveness and the potential to impact the world. You don’t have to apply alone, a team of four can participate and the amount awarded to the winning team is from $5,000 – $25,000. An unknown and different scholarship for sure!

One of the most unusual and bizarre scholarships you’ll ever hear about is the one called Duct Brand Duct Tape Stuck at Prom Scholarship Contest. What do you have to do in order to get this stupid or maybe just a fun scholarship? You must attend the prom dressed in duct tape. Yep, that’s all it takes!

A more serious, but still unusual scholarship is the J.D Salinger Scholarship. This smart scholarship is given to those who exhibit brilliance (of the unusual kind of course!) in the field of writing. The winner gets a 4 year $25,000 scholarship per year and has the privilege to reside in the dorm room occupied by Mr. Salinger. I wonder if that brings luck or is inspirational or something. It is kind of unusual to want to study, live, breath and write in another man’s dorm room. Of course, the competition is also unusually tough. The candidates are required to be nominated by a high school teacher, and after that they’re evaluated based on their work of ten to 15 pages on various topics whether of fiction, poetry, nonfiction or hybrid genres, but who doesn’t want to fight over a nice inspiring scholarship?

So if you think you are gifted with the special characteristics needed for some of these bizarre and unusual scholarships why not give them a try. You can stand out as well as get some money for your education. Who knows, this might be an important step on your way to etching your name in history!

Are Silly Scholarships really Smart Scholarships?

Smart or Silly Scholarships

If you search the Internet long enough you are bound to find some really smart scholarships and some pretty silly scholarships too. Okay, maybe not exactly silly, just some wacky scholarships that don’t quite seem like they should be classified as a scholarship. However stupid or not these so called silly scholarships are for real and they actually deliver valuable smart scholarship money to those who meet their unusual criteria. So before you turn your nose up at these stupid scholarships give them the once over and make completely sure that they cannot lend you a helping hand in your pursuit of post high school education. Let’s examine a few of these smart, goofy scholarships.

Let’s start with The Duck Brand Duct Tape “Stuck At Prom” Contest. Believe it or not, you read it right. As goofy as it sounds you can win $3000 towards your college education along with a bit of pocket money for school as well. All you and your date have to do is attend your high school prom in a duct tape costume you designed. Then you take pictures and send them to the duct tape website. They will choose 10 finalists. Those who visit the site and give them the most votes will determine the winning couple. You must submit your photos to silly scholarships no later than June 8th of the contest year. Voters will judge the couples on originality, workmanship, accessories, colors and the amount of duct tape utilized. This may be one wacky scholarship contest but if you win you may think otherwise when you accept the money!

Just when you thought you had heard everything along comes the Frederick and Mary F. Beckley Scholarship for Left-Handed Students. No, this is not going to be a ‘left-handed monkey wrench’ story. If you are a senior, junior or sophomore enrolled in Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, have sound academic scores, display financial need and oh yes, be left-handed your a candidate for this strange scholarship. Silly, maybe but you can win a smart scholarship of up to $5,000 just for being left handed. Winning the $5,000 scholarship may not seem so dumb once you deposited it in your bank account though. The next application deadline will be April 1, 2010.

Being tall is good for something else other than playing basketball and picking apples off trees. The Tall Clubs International Scholarship offers a $1,000 scholarship. The somewhat stupid part is that a female has to stand 5 feet 10 inches tall. A male has to stand 6 feet 2 inches tall. If you are shorter than that then you are tough out of luck. These applicants need to be below 21 years of age and preparing for their first year in college. His or her local TCI Club must also sponsor each applicant. Believe it or not this is no tall tale and many may consider these to be stupid, or smart scholarships depending on who you ask.

Some people may think it silly that this next scholarship could even exist. The Gertrude J. Deppen Scholarship at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania is asking for a miracle in this day and age. Those interested must have resided in Mount Carmel for at least a decade. They must also hold a diploma from Mount Carmel High School. It gets better. Prospective applicants cannot drink, smoke, use drugs or even play in sports. It must be hard to verify this award and then stick to it. This scholarship may be stupid, silly, goofy & wacky all rolled in one and other ways as well.

Yes, some of these seem like pretty silly scholarships but sometimes when you need money for college you have to be willing to find assistance where you can. At the very least these wacky scholarships can finally make you smile because in the end they all are really smart scholarships if you discover them, apply, and ultimately win money from them!

College Spring Break like a Wacky Scholarship

college spring break vacations         spring break trip for college student         spring break photo college girl 

A college spring break is like wacky scholarships. You never know how bizzare they will be until you accept them and go. Then, when you participate on a college spring trip and the wacky college scholarship; they tend to broaden your educational horizons and make you a more interesting college student. The college spring break vacation tends to give you only good memories; while the wacky scholarship actually will pay some of your college cost and give you a higher education. Both are wacky; but only one will pay you to participate in a wacky college experience.

Any ideas on what you may be doing on spring break? 

college student spring break

How each student decides what their college spring break vacation will be is more a personal matter. While you may see a lot of shows showing college students jetting off for fun and parties on the beach, most actually prefer to do something else. Some can’t afford the cost of taking a trip let alone pay their tutition. I always went home to see my family. I could barely pay my way through college.

college spring break party picture

College spring break come near Eastertime. College is hard, especially the first year and living on your own the first few years is hard as well. By the time college spring break comes, most students welcome the idea of a spring break trip. After just completing testing for all their classes, some students tend to go nuts and enjoy the party life to blow off steam. While others have different ideas of what it means to relax. Those going off to the beach are a travel agents dream, but as a parent, you may not be able to pay for college spring break vacations.

college student spring break fun

Though I always went home to hang out with my family and friends during college spring break, I realize that some simply don’t want to do that. You don’t have to go to the beach to have a good time, especially if that is not something you would normally do anyway. You could go almost anywhere. Some of my friends would organize road trips and just travel in a general direction for college spring break. They would stop where they thought something looked interesting, and stayed wherever they ended up at the end of the day. For me, I would rather do that then go to the beach any day.

college spring break parties

When I started to get serious about my studies I would skip college spring break fun all together and do more studying. You can do this, but it may not be such a good idea. Your brains need a chance to recharge. You may actually get more out of your studies if you take some time away from them, even if it’s only a few days of your college spring break.  You can burn out slowly without realizing it in college with all the testing.

My Sring Break Vacation Suggestion
Recharge your batteries from your unusual wacky scholarship and take a not so wacky college spring break and do nothing. Take it slow and easy. You’ll thank yourself.
