Weird Scholarship Wednesday: "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker." -Ogden Nash

Every Wednesday, we celebrate YOUR diversity and uniqueness. We (almost) guarantee that we will find a scholarship that matches your weird, uncommon and possibly bizarre hobbies, dreams, aspirations and skills! If you think you are inhabited by the ghost of Ethel Merman, are into tattooing your vehicle, or spend your weekends dancing to 1940's jazz, Weird Scholarship Wednesday is ALL ABOUT YOU.
