Unclaimed College Scholarships are Unusual, Weird, Strange and Wacky
Each year, thousands of dollars in unclaimed scholarship money never reach the people who it was set aside for.
Unclaimed Scholarship Money Available to Everyone!
Are you a student?
Do you worry about how you might pay for your educational expenses such as tuition, books and living expenses?
Do you have to work and attend school to make ends meet?
If so, read on!
Yes!
You too can get free scholarship money for having less than popular interests or family roots that are unique and different. This money is more often than not never found and thus unclaimed scholarship money is left over every year while students everywhere continue to try to balance school and work in order to finance their educational career.
Did you know that the act of being born entitles you for many of the unclaimed scholarship money each year?
There are tons of unknown scholarships out there for daughters and sons of various backgrounds, such as daughters of US Navy Submariners, children of military parents or even kids whose parents worked in one particular field or another.
Descendants of certain heritages, pretty much all of them, are also eligible for scholarships that are usually left unclaimed each year. Because there are so many different nationalities throughout the world, there are just as many scholarship offers out there. Any ethnic group offers some kind of scholarship offer to members of that group. Usually this money ends up as yet another unclaimed scholarship.
Interests in certain hobbies also provide ways into unclaimed scholarship money each year. The possibilities here are nearly endless and a student who enjoys model building, HAM radio operation, bird watching, gardening or even basket weaving can also enjoy the benefits of free money to pay for college.
Regardless of economic status and family background, students everywhere can take advantage of these various opportunities. This free money could go either to pay for their choice in education or remain part of the thousands of dollars in unclaimed scholarships that pass students by each year.
The sad thing is, this money usually becomes the latter rather than go to an eligible student. In the end, there is thousands of dollars available for students of every background and heritage. This money is often not claimed and remains part of the unclaimed scholarship statistic.

Hi, I graduate from high school this spring and I’m looking to attend school in Michigan. I want to study secondary education and am a percussionist and pianist. Both my parents are teachers too. Where should I look for scholarships? I just realized I’m about to go into an unescapable amount of debt. Thanks!
Leah,
go to: Michigan Scholarships (old website but has good information) Also, go to musical scholarships too. Go to scholarships grants and look over many at this site as well.
