Unusual Scholarships for College are Unknown


There are many unusual scholarships for college today to help with your college tuition. You must think "outside the box" when searching for them. Some are for absurd talents such as the "Duck Brand Duct Tape Scholarship" which provides educational expenses to student couples who are courageous enough to appear at the prom wearing costumes created entirely from Duck Tape. Other scholarships are weird, such as for the art of "Duck Calling". Have you heard about the (2) unique scholarships based on only your height? The Tall Clubs International offers an obscure scholarship to men who are taller than 6’2” or women who are taller than 5’10”. The other height award is a scholarship for being short. These short scholarships are provided by Little People of America, Inc. (LPA) and you can be no taller then 4'10" to qualify. Still another unusual scholarship is for being left handed. This uncommon scholarship for left handed people is being offerred by Juniata College located in Pennsylvania and it’s being sponsored by the Mary Francis Beckley Scholarship Foundation. Start thinking unusual when it comes to searching for scholarships and you might be surprised at what you might find. It might even pay for your college room and board.
