Tall Clubs International awards student scholarships of up to $1000 each to tall students who are under 21 years of age and attending their first year of college in the following Fall. The recipients must also meet the TCI height requirement minimums of 5′10″ for women and 6′2″ for men.

Here are a few of those scholarships that come to mind….

The Illinois Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs, Inc. has a couple different scholarships available. Silly, not really!

Patrick Kerr skateboard scholarship. Patrick was an honor student and skateboard activist. I think it’s a great tribute and nothing silly about that.

Duck® brand duct tape Stuck at Prom® Contest – Shopping for a prom outfit can be tough and students want to ensure no one else has the same dress. If a student wears the latest fashion in duct tape, he/she may win cash for college and flex their creative muscles at the same time.

Chick and Sophie Major Memorial Duck Calling Contest  where students can quack their hearts out for 90 seconds using four calls: hail, feed, comeback and mating and win big ducks, oops, we mean, bucks for higher education.

Scholar Athlete Milk Mustache of the Year (SAMMY) Award – Milk does a body good, and helps pay for college! If students demonstrate excellence in academics, athletic performance, leadership and community service, and like to sport a milk mustache; this is the scholarship for them.

Vegetarian Resource Group Scholarship – Carnivores need not apply; however, students who have promoted vegetarianism in their schools and/or communities are encouraged to apply for this scholarship.

Van Valkenburg Memorial Scholarship- What’s in a name? Money for college! That is, if a student possesses the last name Van Valkenburg or a similar variation.

James R. Hoffa Memorial Scholarship Fund is named after the Teamster’s former president. They give away 31 scholarships of $10,000 each every year.

.

The Little People of America association (LPA) offers the LPA scholarship to members of the association. Membership is offered to those who are 4′ 10″ or less in height.

Billy Barty Foundation Scholarship – Applicants must be diagnosed with some form of dwarfism. Award is renewable depending on the number of qualified applicants.

Hopefully this helps someone, as there are not a lot of these particular programs that I have found.

Here are the scholarships for minorities available:

Scholarships for Women

For the longest time, women have been one sector of the society with least purpose. Women throughout the history of humankind have been prohibited to study in schools, get a degree and a profession. Today, women have become more involved and more educated. Thanks to the contribution of those individuals to have made their collective moves to place women into the picture. Thanks also to scholarships provided for women that even the most underprivileged could study without worrying more of the expenses.

Scholarships for African Americans and Hispanics

Two of the most dominant minorities in the United States are the African Americans and the Hispanics. They are also two of the most favored portion of the American populace in terms of scholarships. Many colleges and universities, organizations, private individuals, and corporations are dedicated to provide financial aids to these two sectors of society.

Scholarships for Transgendered, Bisexual, Lesbian, and Gay

With more a liberal society, there are some institutions and organizations that recognize transgendered, bisexual, lesbian, and gay as legitimate part or the minority group. And these institutions and organizations provide scholarships for these mentioned minorities as help to keep them educated like others.

Scholarships for Native Americans

The original settlers of the country, the Native Americans, are given equal opportunities to study and finish college like the Whites, Blacks and Colored population in the country. Many institutions and organizations recognize the importance of giving education to Native Americans.

Scholarships for Disabled

There is special attention given to disabled students in order for them to study and get a degree even if they cannot walk normally or cannot do normal functions as a result of their disabilities. And with the Disabilities Act put into law, disabilities have never been a hindrance to enter schools and classrooms even if most would consider them as unusual.

Whether you are an African American, Hispanic, women, Native American, disabled, transgendered, bisexual, lesbian, or gay, you can get scholarship, study, and get a degree to become ready for the future.
