How tall are you? Are you a skateboarder? Do you like to knit? Whoever you are, whatever you do, there is a scholarship for you! 

        Sure, there are scholarships for good athletes or for good students in need. But, what about the rest of us? In fact,there are some very surprising scholarships for everyone else. Believe it or not, there is a scholarship for skateboarders with a GPA of 2.5 or higher. These student skateboarders can receive $5,000 or $1,000 awards. There is also a scholarship for tall people. Women 5'10" or taller and men 6'2" or taller can apply. These tall students are eligible for$1,000 awards. Don’t worry, short people, there is a scholarship for you if you are 4'10" or shorter. You can get$1,000, too. A milk mustache scholarship goes to 25 students who are excellent students and athletes. They each get$7,500 and their pictures taken with a milk mustache! Finally, a wool competition awards $1,000 and $2,000 to students who knit wool clothes with excellent design and creativity. 

        So you don’t have to be a straight A student to get a scholarship. One counselor in our Financial Aid Office says,“It takes time and effort to apply for scholarships, but it is worth it!”
