Weird. Wacky. Outlandish. Some of the most ridiculous things in life are what you take notice of.
The same goes with scholarships. Some of the best are also some of the silliest, weirdest, oddball awards that often get a "I can get an award for what?!" type of reaction. This is exactly why they’re worth celebrating.
Here are some of Fastweb’s all-time favorite take-notice scholarships. These fall under the silly, outlandish and how’d-they-come-up-with-that? category of scholarship opportunities that may make you think or, perhaps, look twice. They make you wonder exactly who is applying for these scholarships and how on earth can you meet them?
But, at the end of the day, a scholarship is a scholarship! And these are nothing short of awesome.
You never know, one of the following awards could be perfect for you! If so, you are our hero.
