Looking For a Free Money Scholarship for College?

Here are some ideas that may help you College is expensive. Period. And paying for it can be pretty difficult. But, there are ways to get free money for college from scholarships. But scholarships are hard to come by. You either have to be in extreme need, academically brilliant or an Olympic level sportsman. Wait.

Scholarship If you feel like you don’t qualify for a scholarship, then maybe you should consider the scholarship that offers free money only for students earning a C-. Or maybe you should look into the scholarship which is dedicated to being naked as often as possible. But you are not a C- student and you don’t believe in walking around nude wherever you can, right? If you’re left handed, you could get $1,500 in free money from the left handed scholarship. These are some of the wacky, but real, college scholarships out there.

MacGyver Would Be Proud Remember MacGyver from the TV back in the 1980s? He was able to use almost anything to get out of tough jams. One of my favorite MacGyverisms, is when he says: “Water is funny stuff. It expands when you freeze it.” He used that one on numerous occasions to break open locks and even to topple a boulder.

College and Macgyver When it comes to free money for college, MacGyver would have been all over the Duct Tape scholarship. He always carried a roll of duct tape and a Swiss Army knife, his only tools. And if you want to win the Duct Tape Scholarship, you and your date should show up at prom dressed in your finest sticky material. Just wear an outfit made out of duct tape and you could win $5,000 for college.

Buck Naked Then there was George Costanza of the Seinfeld sitcoms. George’s porn star name was Buck Naked. However, it could also be the title of the Naked Scholarship. If you love hanging out in the nude and just can’t get enough of being in your birthday suit, then you can get free money for college from the American Association of Nude Recreation.

The Lefty Speaking of Seinfeld, there was another episode of the show where a guy creates a store devoted entirely to left handed people. If you happen to be one of the lucky few, comprising about 10% of the population who are left handed, you can get up to $1,500 from Juanita College.

David Letterman David Letterman was a C- student in college and yet he went on to become a highly successful television personality. Those who choose to follow in his footsteps, and he has an inscription at his alma mater reading “to all the C- students who came after me”, can apply for this scholarship for the mediocre. Officially, the rules do say that grades are not a factor. You only have to plan on going into telecommunications as he did, but I couldn’t resist pointing out that Letterman really wanted it to be given to the mediocre, as he was, rather than to the academically brilliant.

Go for it!
