So, it is that time in one’s life when everything is going great and it seems like everything is passing by in the blink of an eye until one realizes that he or she is about to walk down the stage of their graduation. There is so much ahead in his or her life: career, family, traveling, and partying. But wait there is the one big thing on everyone’s mind COLLEGE.
College is here and now one has to figure out how to pay for it. That is where the Internet and searches for scholarships for high school seniors come hand and hand. Most people when they think of scholarships think of essay after essay, but there are those unique, scholarships for high school seniors that are for the creative mind.
One very cool scholarship that is out there involves duct tape! Yes, that is correct, I said duct tape. The great company of Duck Brand duct tape has a scholarship for the most creative outfit for prom made out of duct tape. This contest is open to all high school attending student in the USA and Canada. The grand winners of this contest win a $5000.00 scholarship to help towards furthering their education. Also the top ten winners receive scholarship money of $3000.00 for second place, $2000.00 for third place and the remaining runners up receive $500.00 each. Along with each winner, the school that they currently attend receives scholarship money too! Now if one is not into doing a complete outfit out of duct tape, Duck Brand duct tape has contests for best jewelry, corsage, shoes, tie, purse, and props. After creating one’s works of art out of duct tape, one will upload his or her picture up on the Duck Brand website for voting. The picture must be of the contest applicants in their duct tape creation before, during, or after prom. If the contest applicants are 18 years or younger, they must have parental consent to submit their picture in the contest. In order to get parental permission, the parent/guardians email must be submitted and an email will be forwarded to their address for approval of the picture to be submitted for the contest. To find all the rules and regulations to this contest you can visit the Duck Brand duct tape website at: www. Duckbrand.com and click on promotions. There you will find all the rules and frequently asked question about the contest.
There are many other creative scholarships out there, but all one needs to do it just search on the internet and also ask their high school guidance counselor for assistance. There are many times that counselors will have a list of scholarships available with the timelines for completion and what has to be completed with each application. Do not ever think that because one may not be the best essay writer that there are not scholarships out there to be rewarded. The biggest thing about scholarships is to start early. The earlier one starts looking at how one is going to fund their college career the better they will be once they throw that cap up in the air.
