Are there really any "unknown" scholarships?

some are very local or you have to meet specific criteria.

Our water company has a scholarship but you have to be getting a degree in horticulture and stay in state.

Our electric company is a COOP and the easiest scholarship I have seen. Parents have to be members of the COOP, student have an acceptance letter and complete the simple application. A drawing is done from all the qualified applicants.

My buddy had no clue about the electric company even though he pays the monthly bill. He never read the monthly newsletter which advertises the scholarship for at least 5-6 months.

The other issue is these scholarships are not for 4 years but have to be applied for each year so it isn’t a consistent amount of money which can be relied upon.
