Last updated April 28 2012 Weird Unknown Scholarships.

I like weird scholarships. They are much more interesting than traditional scholarships. So enjoy these fun scholarships and see if you qualify!

Weird Unknown Scholarships for College

Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, by Dr. Seuss

Dr Seuss Scholarship 2012 - Oh the Places You’ll Go

Application Deadline Tentative November 2012 - January 2013

Award Amount $10,000

When I was a child, I remember reading so many of Dr. Seuss children books. One of the most inspirational, and very appropriate for high school seniors as they enter college, is the best selling book Oh, the Places You’ll Go! By Dr. Seuss. So dust off your childhood books and read this classic, then apply for the Dr. Seuss scholarship. In 2010 this was a writing scholarship, and in 2011 an art contest, so we will see what the Dr. Seuss scholarship requirements will be in 2012. This is one of the fun but weird unknown scholarships for college, and one of the best scholarships for high school seniors. For more information see Dr Seuss Scholarship Application.

Short People Scholarships

Application Deadline April 22 each year

Award Amount typically $250 - $1000 (2 for undergraduate students and 1 for graduate students)

Short People Scholarships, offered by the Little People of America, is one of the weird unknown scholarships for college. Applicants must be 4 feet 10 inches or under to qualify as a member and apply for a short people scholarship. A short essay is required, and three letters of recommendation. Preference is given for those who have a medical condition that causes dwarfism. For more information see Short People Scholarships.

Tall People Scholarships

Application Deadline email local club

Award Amount $1000

It’s only fair that if there are short people scholarships, there should also be tall people scholarships. If your height is at least 5’10” for women or 6’2” for men, are under 21, and attending college for the first time in the fall, you may qualify for a scholarship through Tall Clubs International. For more information see Tall People Scholarships.

Got milk? Or at least a great milk mustache? Another of the weird unknown scholarships for college is the Scholar Athlete Milk Mustache of the Year, aka SAMMY awards. This program recognized the best high school athletes from grade 12. Teachers, coaches, and other adults may nominate students, or athletes can nominate themselves.
