<p>wow!

<p>Knew about the prom one :]</p>

<p>haha, the bagpipes major one made me laugh</p>

<p>i knew about the tall one and the short one though</p>

6

<p>There’s one for Catholics with the last name Zolp? This list is hilarious.</p>

<p>The duct tape prom dresses are actually amazing. If you google the contest, you can see photos of last year’s finalists.</p>

<p>Pepsnruf: Well, uh, you scroll down… and then you click the names of scholarships.</p>

<p>Love the Stuck at Prom one! Did it last year and I’m helping a friend again this year since I graduated already.</p>

<p>This is wicked interesting!</p>

11

<p>Time to apply for a few of these!</p>

12

<p>Some of these scholarships are amazingly specific, no wonder only a few can apply for them. Its both awesome and frustrating.</p>

<p>I’m normal.

<p>Star Trek scholarships. Oy vey.</p>

15

<p>Dang. I was sure my weird kid would fit in here somewhere! But she’s so weird she doesn’t even belong anywhere in this Island of Misfit Toys…er, um…students. Or…as Smiling said - Normal. Dang!</p>

16

<p>Weird but real opps for $$. S1 received one of the Tylenol awards 4 years ago. Merely had to cut/paste parts of his main admissions essay to fit the app question. Was easy $$, much appreciated by this mom.</p>

17

<p>daang. 1 inch too short for the tall one :(</p>

18

<p>wow… one of my friend is like 6’3!! lmao
too bad he’s a junior now and il’ll let him know about this scholarship when he’s a senior!!</p>

19

<p>Hmm… now that I think about it, I should probably apply for the prom dress one. Sounds like a good chance to get creative. :)</p>

<p>Here is a scholarship for left handed people. I’m right handed, so I can’t apply, but hopefully it will help you!</p>
