Interesting Scholarships
We all know about different scholarships. There are sport scholarships and those academic scholarships we all hope to achieve. But here are some scholarships you may not know about.
Tall Club International Scholarship
Tall Club International’s (TCI) purpose is to “promote tall awareness among tall men and women, and in the community.” The TCI will give a scholarship of $1,000 to men at least 6’2” and women 5’10” (candidates must be under 21 and plan to attend college in the fall).
Little People of America Scholarship
In sharp contrast to the TCI, the Little People of America (LPA) provides for the vertically challenged people of society. With members at a maximum of 4’10”, the TCI offers $250 to $1000 to people diagnosed with a form of dwarfism and members of TCI with direct family members who are dwarfs.
Duck Brand Duct Tape Stuck at Prom Contest
Duct tape is famous for its versatility, but can it help get you into college? The Duck Brand Duct Tape Stuck at Prom Contest gives out scholarships up to $3,000 to a couple attending their high school prom wearing an outfit entirely composed of duct tape (and $3,000 to the school). The entry must provide a color picture of the attendees and will be based on the originality, creativity, and color of the design.
