Laugh all you like at these silly college scholarships because they're legit | Call Kurtis
August is the deadline for some weird, very strangely-themed college scholarships.
But, they are legit and CBS13 and the Call Kurtis consumer investigative team did some research on these options to help students score some free money. There are so many scholarships out there, and believe it or not, some of them don't even get any applications.
Make Me Laugh Scholarship
This will make you laugh, but there's no joking around with this $1,500 scholarship, called the Make Me Laugh Scholarship. And laughter is the theme. You don't even need good grades.
What you do need is to write a 250-word essay. To lighten things up, it could be a funny or embarrassing story, fact or fiction. Just make it funny. If it's really hilarious, you just might score $1,500.00 for school. Then you can laugh your way all to the bank.
The deadline is Aug. 31. The winner finds out before December.
Perfect Plant Scholarship
Here's another peculiarly-themed scholarship, but it's right for you, especially if you're a green thumb.
And, if you have an interest in plants, it could get you a grand.
The Perfect Plant Scholarship requires a 3.0 GPA and a 500 to 1,000-word essay explaining your interest in horticulture. The deadline to apply is Aug. 20.
Clubs of America Scholarship
And, for those college students who already know what they want to do with their lives, Clubs of America has $1,000 for someone with a 3.0 GPA who can write a 600-word essay about their professional aspirations, and how their current studies will help them to achieve success. You can even submit a video, if you like.
The deadline is Aug. 31. The winner finds out in September.
