UNIQUE SCHOLARSHIPS

TWO TEN FOOTWEAR FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP

The Two Ten Footwear Foundation awards scholarships to over

four hundred students amounting to over $700,000. The

scholarships come in various forms, such as those for

footwear employees and also those who are studying footwear

design in college. It’s all about shoes here.

AMERICAN NUDIST RESEARCH LIBRARY SCHOLARSHIP

If the nudist in you is itching to get out and you don’t mind showing

off your assets or living in a nudist colony, then this scholarship

could award out with $1,000 for college.

FLAVOUR OF THE MONTH SCHOLARSHIP

The Flavour of the Month Scholarship provides students with

a more relaxed opportunity to be creative. Asking students to

consider what ice-cream flavour they would be and why,

this scholarship allows students to take a look inward and

express themselves in a fun and creative way.

US BOWLING CONGRESS SCHOLARSHIP

Five male and five female USBC High School students are

selected annually for the Dexter/USBC High School All-American Team

and a $1,000 scholarship. As for the criterion for the

scholarship? Just be a good bowler; that’s all it takes.

VEGETARIAN RESOURCE GROUP SCHOLARSHIP

Due to the generosity of an anonymous donor, each year the

Vegetarian Resource Group awards $20,000 in scholarship

money to graduating US high school students who have

promoted vegetarianism in their schools and/or communities.

ZOLP SCHOLARSHIP

To win this strange scholarship offered by Loyola University

(Chicago, Illinois), your last name has to be Zolp and you have

to be Catholic in order to qualify. If you miss one of the

previous two criteria don’t even think about it.

ZINCH $1,000 WEEKLY SCHOLARSHIP

Zinch is a resource that offers weekly scholarships to students.

This might be weird indeed but at the same time a unique

opportunity because it gives students multiple chances to win

scholarship money on a weekly basis. Though flexible, the

opportunity is also challenging, allowing students only

280 characters to answer the question of the week to win.

NORDIC SKIING ASSOCIATION OF

ANCHORAGE SCHOLARSHIP

When it comes to athletic scholarships, these are usually given

to students who excel in popular sports such as football,

soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, swimming, and wrestling;

apparently there are scholarships that award future winter

Olympians too. The Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage has

awarded scholarships to students for over twenty-five years

and students are awarded these scholarships based on

personal performance and achievements.

EXCELLENCE IN PREDICTING THE FUTURE AWARD

Don’t let the name confuse you; you don’t have to be a

fortune-teller to win this $400 award. All you need is an interest

in economics and be good at predicting the course of the

financial market (which with the way things are going in the

global economy, might end up being harder than

fortune-telling after all).
