School Daze: The Weirdest Scholarships Out There

Summer's over kiddies. Back to school with you all! As many children are stressing out over homework this year many high school seniors are stressing out about homework and a decision that will set the course for their entire life....college. College may be a great place to find your inner human being, but it is extremely expensive (extremely fucking expensive!). The only way many teens can find money is through a little big thing called scholarships. Most of the scholarships out there are for two things only 1. Academics or 2. Athletics. Not smart or athletic? Well don't you fret little one, today there are some scholarships out there that are completely zany and cover weirdos of all types. Today's post is dedicated to just that. Here's an ode to all of those scholarships that make us scratch our head and say, who the hell thought of that?


  • Tall Clubs International Scholarship- $1,000 to Males 6'2 and taller and females 5'10 and taller.

  • The Duck Brand Duct Tape Scholarship- 6,000 for the lucky couple who makes the best prom outfit out of duct tape.

  • The American Welding Society Scholarships

  • Ayn Rand Scholarship- Read The Fountainhead, write a winning essay, and win 10,000. You just have to pick up the book without bursting into flames.
