In need of some random scholarships? Here are some unique and weird scholarships for college that are available in 2024.<\/em><\/p>\n If you’re on the hunt for college funds, there are thousands of college scholarships<\/a> available based on the state you live in<\/a>, academics<\/a>, athletics<\/a>, college major<\/a>, and other general criteria. BUT<\/em>, did you know that there are also a bunch of unusual<\/a> and weird scholarships out there?<\/p>\n We’ve rounded up some of the weirdest (and unique) college scholarships that make applying for money a LOT more fun (listed in order by the application deadline<\/strong>). Plus, many of these interesting scholarships require minimal or NO writing!<\/p>\n This is one of the unusual scholarships being offered in 2024. The Vegetarian Resource Group awards $30,000 annually to high school vegetarians or vegans. Applicants will be judged on compassion, courage, and a strong commitment to promoting a peaceful world through a vegetarian diet\/lifestyle. You must be graduating high school in the spring of 2024 to apply.<\/p>\n In 250 words or less, tell Courage to Grow why you deserve the scholarship. You’ll also need to fill out the application, and you can continuously apply every month.<\/p>\n Don’t like to write? The $2,000 “No Essay” Scholarship is one of the easy and fun scholarships as there is NO essay required! The scholarship can cover tuition, housing, books, or any education-related expenses. The monthly winner will be determined by random<\/em> drawing and then contacted directly.<\/p>\n This may not be a weird scholarship, but it’s definitely short and sweet. All you have to do is write 250 words about a meaningful gift you received – that’s it!<\/p>\n Love<\/em> applying for scholarships? Debt.com wants to award students who have shown tenacity and courage in applying for ALL the free college money that is out there. This is one of the more obscure scholarships that awards persistence!<\/p>\n All you have to do to enter is apply for TONS of scholarships. Don’t worry. You don’t have to win them! You just send in copies of all of your submission receipts to Debt.com, along with a letter saying a bit about yourself. Include your plans in life and how you felt submitting all those applications.<\/p>\n Debt.com is purposefully vague with its rules to give students who seek the most scholarships the best chance of winning, but if you have questions, you can contact them and ask away<\/a>.<\/p>\n These rare scholarships may make a difference when it comes to affording tuition. In 1,000 words, explain your education, work experience, career goals, and interest in archiving moving images for a chance to win the grand prize. The AMIA also has a $4,000 scholarship aimed at women<\/a> pursuing careers in audiovisual archiving.<\/p>\n Dying to get into the funeral business? Here is one of the odd scholarships available to you. In hopes of garnering applicants into the field of funeral and mortuary sciences, the American Board of Funeral Service Education has put together a scholarship program for undergraduate and postgraduate students<\/a>. Applicants must have completed at least one full semester of coursework focusing on funeral and mortuary sciences to be eligible.<\/p>\n If you have been impacted by Alzheimer’s disease, the Alzheimer’s Foundation has an amazing scholarship opportunity. It goes from various ninth-place winners getting $500 to one grand prize of $5,000. The foundation awards tons of entries, so it’s definitely worth looking into.<\/p>\n You can actually get a scholarship for being tall! If you fit the requirements, head on over to the website and fill out an application<\/a>. There are a few important dates to be aware of<\/a> in the scholarship process, so be sure to mark them on your calendar.<\/p>\n Have a knack for drawing? One of the fun and random scholarships you can apply to is The Create-A-Greeting-Card Scholarship. This scholarship is designed to give high school and collegiate-level students the opportunity to design an original greeting card. All artwork must be original. It can include photography and graphic design. Non-winning greeting cards may still be selected for publishing. In this case, the artist will be compensated.<\/p>\n Do you like silly scholarships? Try Doodle for Google. Every year, Google chooses a theme and students are encouraged to draw a logo based on the entry. Five finalists will win a $5,000 scholarship plus some Google hardware and swag. If you score the main prize, you’ll get a $55,000 scholarship, Google hardware and swag, a $50,000 technology package for your school or a non-profit of the winner’s choice, and a trophy for you and your school. Additionally, a few winners will receive unique awards like the Biggest Smile Award or the Good Neighbor Award.<\/p>\n This no-essay scholarship has been made possible with donors including Burger King and other restaurants. If you’re looking for a restaurant-related degree, make sure you set your timers for March 15th!<\/p>\n This one may not be weird, but it’s definitely one of the more obscure scholarships. The Gypsy Lore Society Young Scholars’ Prize was created to support those studying Gypsies and Travelers in Romani culture. If you’d like to apply, you must write a paper between 30 and 40 double-spaced pages about Romani studies.<\/p>\n When it comes to out-of-the-box, weird scholarships, this one takes the cake! To be eligible for this scholarship, students just need to be enrolled in high school or a home association high school and create prom attire made entirely of duck tape!<\/p>\n Since not every student can go to prom, you don’t have to necessarily wear your creation to prom to participate. Creations will be judged on workmanship, originality, use of colors, accessories, and use of Duck Brand Duck tape. If you love strange scholarships, apply for this one!<\/p>\n Here’s another one of the silly scholarships! There is no essay required and it’s super easy to enter. All you have to do is fill out the application and hit submit. Plus, you can re-enter every quarter!<\/p>\n Looking for more funny and crazy scholarships? Channel your inner hero and let the Superhero Scholarship know which superhero or villain you want to change places with for a day and why. You have 250 words or less to make your case!<\/p>\n If you have a passion for activism and peace, the Davis-Putter Scholarship may be for you. You have to write a personal statement of 1,000 words about something you’re passionate about getting justice for in your community.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
