Hidden Available Scholarships
Posted in
May 10, 2010
There are plenty of scholarships available, however for one reason or another students just don't know about these scholarships. There are scholarships for students with specific last names, students who are a specific height, students who skateboard, caddie or play golf, students who meet a certain criteria etc. Each of these scholarships have specific terms and requirements. Some of these scholarships have GPA and SAT requirements and some of them don't. Below I have listed a few scholarships that are available but don't get much attention, meaning that many students don't apply for them.
Dartmouth College's 'Sons of Wheelock' scholarship Full tuition goes to any child from the town of Wheelock, Vt., who is admitted to Darmouth College.
Loyola University's Zolp scholarship Loyola University Zolp scholarship fund offers full tuition to any Catholic student whose last name is Zolp.

Western Golf Association's Evans Scholars Foundation Western Golf Association Evans Scholars foundation offers full tuition and housing for high school seniors who are in the top 25 percent of their class and have served as caddies for two years or more. The aforementioned scholarships and financial aid opportunities are just a brief sample of the types of scholarships that are available but not very popular amongst students looking for money for college. As you can see some scholarships are full scholarships and some are partial. There are millions of scholarships that are similar to the ones listed above. Make sure you keep all of your options open and apply for as many scholarships as possible!
