Remember when they told you that one strange skill or interest would never get you anywhere in life?
Well now it can! There are numerous unusual scholarships out there just for you!
Some of the more unusual scholarships awarded include those for particular heights, such as the Tall Clubs International scholarship, particular abilities, even duck calling, and even the ability to predict the future! Despite the off beat nature of some hobbies, nearly any hobby thinkable qualifies a person for some type of scholarship. Many family groups and heritage clubs also offer unusual scholarships based on surnames, bloodlines or marriage. All ethic groups offer one type of scholarship or another. Do you write science fiction? Do you have a particular last name? Did you great-great grandfather take part in the writing of a new law? Are you the daughter of a US Navy Submariner based in Hawaii? There’s a scholarship out there just for you!
Unusual scholarships make up a large portion of scholarship money offered each year. More often than not, these scholarships have very little competition and sometimes none at all. Many of these scholarships are never claimed as many people simply never thought they could get college money for their own little niche in life. To the contrary, unusual scholarships prove that cookie cutter students are no longer the norm. Individualism has become an important part of our culture. Unique traits and skills make each individual special in their own way, paving the way for many unusual scholarships. So many people let their skills and abilities lay idle as they pursue the good life through a higher education. Instead, why not go ahead and use that crazy skill or interest to pay for your education?
What is your skill? Can you do something that very few people can? Want to learn how to put your unique skills to work for you in paying for your college education? There are literally millions of scholarship opportunities for students with all kinds of backgrounds and interests.
These are not loans, but absolutely free money that can be used to pay for college tuition, books and even living expenses. Unfortunately, tons of this money goes unclaimed as many of these scholarships are very unusual and thus most students either don’t know they exist or don’t think to search for them.
No longer do scholarship recipients need to be at the top of their class, being the tallest in the class qualifies them for free college money!

Kindly anybody/bodies there help me in my dare situation.

I have 4 children, triplets plus one older sibling. The older one is in high school and the triplets are in middle school. Do you know of any scholarships specifically for triplets? And what should I be doing at this time to prepare for the costs of college? Thanks for your help!
Thea,
go to mom scholarships and apply to those you may qualify for. If you have a question about qualifying, send an email to the scholarship sponsor via their contact page. There are many awards on this website that you should qualify for – but you must take the time to apply to them.

I am a 59 year old woman who had to retire from elementary education early due to muscular dystrophy. My disability income is barely enough for my husband and I to survive and I fear not sustainable. I want to attend the University of Colorado and receive my MFA (creative writing program). I have written two short stories and have a desire to improve by applying to and attending a graduate program. My hope is to some day make money writing and get off disability. Patricia in Denver
Patricia,
go to government disability scholarships which may help. This is a good disability website for those who have a disability and looking for financial aid.
Dear Admin, this is Thea that wrote back in January. I’m the one with triplets + one. I was not asking about scholarships for myself. I was asking about scholarships for my triplets. Do you know of any? Thanks!
Thea,
try Live your Dream Scholarships. Otherwise go to easy to apply scholarships and high school scholarships for college.
