Do you have an invention you would like to share with the world? Could you be the writer of the future? Are you interested in psychic powers? Do you speak “Klingon?”
These are just a few of the possible “weird scholarships” that fastweb.com has posted on their scholarship website. It may only be July but many scholarships for the upcoming year have already been posted and some deadlines are already sneaking up quickly.
Fastweb.com is a great resource for a wide variety of scholarships, both weird and traditional, but all are worth taking a glance through. Even though some scholarships may be for small amounts every little bit of “free money” can add up. Start writing your scholarship essays early and check out fastweb’s tips, videos, calculators, and other pieces of advice as you start your scholarship search.
