The 10 Truly Weird Scholarships Students Can Get

Lovers of The Number 5A website called ScholarshipExperts.com hosts the Fifth Month Scholarship but doesn’t actually reveal why it chose this odd topic, but certainly looks like a clever PR move, because now everyone talks about it.
The rules are simple and straight, any individual who can write the best 250-word essay on why the number 5 is so important wins. Doesn’t it sound weird? Well that’s the real fact where you could win $1,500 worth scholarship. You might get a clear idea if you could check out the previous winners before attempting this yourself.
Dwarfs
Considered as the little people, this Scholarship program is predominantly for its own members who must be 4-foot-10 or under to join. But the rule is if no little people American member wins, an immediate relative of an LPA member can take this up, no matter how tall or short they are. And if a relative doesn’t win, then all dwarfs are considered. Well isn’t that fun.
Anyone Named Zolp
In 1977, a Cartholic reverend named William A. Zolp died in Colorado. But before he left, he endowed the Zolp Scholarship, which offers free tuition to any Catholic student attending Loyola University in Chicago and who was born with the last name ending with Zolp. Well that’s weird!
Other weird truth is, the Loyola officials don’t really know why the scholarship was established and Zolp never attended Loyola. On the contrary multiple Zolps apply during a single year scholarship amounts will vary, but it’s said that only three have ever won it. So try your luck!
