Weird College Scholarships That Can Actually Land You A College Degree

If you are a major trivia buff or a vegetarian warrior to the core, then you might consider yourself in luck. Your passion could just land you a college scholarship. Of course, you just have to be excellent in being weird to be able to do that. Here is another list of weird and bizarre college tuition grants you can and might get.

1. The Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contest - given to students who have knack of predicting the future with their creative mind and potent wordplay for science fiction. Those years of believing that Aliens and Predators are making Earth their battlefield can finally pay off.

2. Vegetarian Resource Group Scholarship - if you prefer to munch on veggies instead of going carnivorous, then you can actually land a $10,000 scholarship. All you have to do is to promote vegetarianism in your school and/or their communities by whatever means necessary.

3. The Ayn Rand Institute - staff of the institute wants to know what you think of Ayn Rand's bestselling novel, The Fountainhead. If you can whip an essay that would move them to approval, you might just get a scholarship worth $10,000. Now, why didn't our teachers teach this to us instead of letting us go through Macbeth?

4. The American Association of Candy Technologists (AACT) - If you have the sweet tooth, then you can get a sweet scholarship fund worth $10,000. All you need to do is be impressive academically and get a college degree in confectionary technology.

5. Parapsychology Foundation- if you believe that the truth is out there and that there are indeed aliens and that X-Files is real, then you better apply for a scholarship or a college tuition grant sponsored by the Parapsychology Foundation. You have to take a parapsychology degree to qualify.

Basically, if you need financial aid, then all you have to do is believe that something is out there, or be the next Willy Wonka.
