Instead, you can find weird scholarships that let you declare your love for ice cream or hash out a survival plan for a zombie apocalypse. Great with fashion design and using duct tape? Perfect! Can you speak Klingon? Excellent (or, perhaps you’d say, “Chon!”). You’ll find several weird scholarships like these in this special directory list. So, have fun and start applying for your chance to win! For an even more personalized list of awards, sign up for a free profile today.
