College Scholarship Opportunities You Didn't Know Existed
Unconventional Scholarships
While most scholarships are awarded based on academic excellence or athletic prowess, there is a growing number of unconventional scholarships designed to support students with unique skills or interests. For example, the Duck Brand Stuck at Prom Scholarship Contest offers students a chance to win money for college by creating prom attire from duct tape1. This not only fosters creativity but also provides a fun way to earn scholarship funds.
Similarly, the National Marbles Tournament awards scholarships to young marble players2. These scholarships are perfect for students who have honed their skills in niche areas, proving that passions outside of the classroom can also lead to financial support for education.
