Do you aspire to be a flower judge? Do you conduct scientific experiments in your free time? Do you see yourself as a future enologist?
As you think about how you are going to pay for college, don't rely solely on the obvious cash sources of work and a college's financial aid package. There are billions of scholarship dollars out there, some of them targeted specifically at students with unusual interests or backgrounds. Check out these 23 unusual scholarships to see what I'm talking about. Awards range from $50 to $50,000, and some of the deadlines are coming up in January.
Also, if you haven't looked through the list of scholarships with December deadlines, be sure to do so. A few have already expired, but many have not.
